I've read a few other books by Kubica and have never been wowed by them but she's so popular I thought I should give her another try. Unfortunately, I found this one underwhelming as well. It's told from two different view points. The first is that of Quinn, a twenty-something who lives and works in Chicago. Her roommate, Esther, is missing. The second viewpoint is that of Alex, an 18-year-old living across Lake Michigan in a small Michigan town who notices a new girl hanging around. As a reader, this book lacked tension because of a key piece of information we don't know. And a suspense book without tension is just...not that great. There was no sense of urgency and honestly the mystery itself was just not that compelling.
