THEN SHE WAS GONE by Lisa Jewel is a PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER at its best that made me acutely aware of life’s tenuousness and the importance of heeding one’s intuition. Where did Ellie go? Did she really run away from home, as the police have long suspected, or was there a more sinister reason for her disappearance? Who is Floyd, really? And why does his daughter remind Laurel so viscerally of her own missing girl? And now, the unanswered questions she’s tried so hard to put to rest begin to haunt Laurel anew. Before she knows it, she’s meeting Floyd’s daughters-and his youngest, Poppy, takes Laurel’s breath away.īecause looking at Poppy is like looking at Ellie.
So when she meets an unexpectedly charming man in a café, no one is more surprised than Laurel at how quickly their flirtation develops into something deeper. It’s been ten years since her daughter disappeared, seven years since her marriage ended, and only months since the last clue in Ellie’s case was unearthed. Now, her mother Laurel Mack is trying to put her life back together. She was days away from an idyllic post-exams summer vacation, with her whole life ahead of her. She and her boyfriend made a teenaged golden couple. She was beloved by her parents, friends, and teachers.
