Okay, I have to admit, when I read that Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) recommended this book, it was a must read for me. The mystery begins when a small town woman with an unsavory reputation disappears. This sets the stage for a story that will keep you guessing. Now add in the other characters: a thirteen-year old girl with a secret that makes her feel important when otherwise, she is an outcast. A disgruntled factory worker who longs for a life he will never have. A sister who is dissatisfied with life in general, yet is powerless to change. Amazingly, all these characters and many minor ones, intertwine with one another to make a novel that I didn't want to put down. Sounds a little depressing? Yes, in many ways it goes to those dark places like Gone Girl. However, it also tells a tale of the human spirit and how all of us just want to be accepted for who we are. You will feel sympathy, empathy, and maybe just a little sadness. A complex story I recommend reading!
