![]() ![]() He makes her feel like there can be life after Ellie’s disappearance, and she begins to think she might be able to move on. She’s lost her husband, her other kids barely speak to her, and every time she sees someone who looks like Ellie, she flashes back to the day her 13-year-old girl went to the library to study and never came home.Ī post shared by Off the Shelf on at 7:29am PDTīut, as all great stories do, the appearance of a new man in Laurel’s life puts the wheels in motion for her to find some closure. Ten years after the disappearance of her daughter Ellie, Laurel is still broken. THEN SHE WAS GONE begins as many other books do, with a parent distraught over a missing child. ![]() ![]() Honestly, if you have a friend who can guess the end of THEN SHE WAS GONE, stop being friends with that person. Two days later, I get a text from her, taking a stab at how it ended. So when she asked me what she should read next, I practically threw THEN SHE WAS GONE at her. She’d read pretty much every woman’s thriller you could think of-“girl looking for another girl’s killer” thrillers, “girl looking for her missing child” thrillers, “girl knowing something has gone wrong and no one will listen” thrillers, even “girl is a brilliant but fallen detective who fights against her own stereotype” thrillers-and every time she would guess the ending. I had a friend who was notoriously hard to please, readingwise. ![]()
