* I was given an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
I really wanted to like this book. A college girl goes missing and years later a woman with a minimal connection to her thinks she sees her on a train? Sounds like it's up my alley. However, it fell a bit flat for me. For one thing, jumping perspectives can be interesting sometimes. But when you switch so many times the reader just gets confused, you lose the whole purpose behind multiple narrators. And the blurb plays on the "relationship" between George and the missing girl, when in reality they were "friends with benefits" for a short amount of time, and she wasn't the only person that George had ever been with. Frankly I feel like she should have been glad her husband didn't have a dead girl in his wake, just a missing one, considering the amount of girls he and his friend "slept with". And the mystery? I called it halfway into the book. All in all, it wasn't a bad book, just not one that I would pick up again.
