Where I Lost Her by T. Greenwood
5.0
I'd like to thank Netgalley for my digital copy in exchange for a fair and honest review
This book was PERFECTION (for me). The cover art? Beautiful. The writing? Easy to read but so eloquently strung together that I was mesmorized. The plot? Had me on the edge of my seat for 3 days. I easily could have devoured this book in one sitting if my schedule had allowed. It has been awhile that I have been so emotionally invested in a book, not for only the suspense, but also for the characters. This is one to watch for folks; my first experience with [a:T. Greenwood|133394|T. Greenwood|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1400096380p2/133394.jpg] and certainly not my last.
Tess Waters and her husband Jake are headed back to Vermont where she grew up for a little R & R with their best friends of many years. Long story short, Tess and Jake are on the fritz due to a steady growing animosity from 8 years ago involving a botched foreign adoption. As Tess is headed home their first night from picking up more wine for the group, she spots a child on the road wearing nothing but a tutu and ladybug rainbows. She returns to the car to retrieve a sweater for the girl but spooks her and the child runs off into the woods lost. Tess returns home to call the police as cell service is conveniently spotty and so begins the search for the missing girl. The problem is, no evidence of this girl is turning up after days of searching and the police are thinking Tess has imagined the whole thing due to some mental struggles in the past. Is she imagining this girl? Or did she really see her?
I honestly had no clue which way this one would go until the end. I flipped back and forth, not committing to anything and waiting to see how it unfolded. This book is told through Tess' present perspective with flashbacks of the adoption nightmare spaced in between. I thought the pacing was brilliant and the writing was so gorgeous. Every description and metaphor had me sucked in; I felt I was inside the story as opposed to reading it. This one was full of emotion and suspense; I only wish I could un-read it to re-read it for the first time again! Check this one out for sure!
