From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train comes a novel about friendship and the memories that haunt us
On the night of her high school graduation, Kathryn Campbell sits around a bonfire with her four closest friends, including the beautiful but erratic Jennifer. "I'll be fine," Jennifer says, as she walks away from the dying embers and towards the darkness of the woods. She never comes back.
Ten years later, Kathryn has tried to build a life for herself, with a marriage and a career as a journalist, but she still feels the conspicuous void of Jennifer's disappearance. When her divorce sends her reeling back to the Maine town where she grew up, she finds herself plunged into a sea of memories. With nothing left to lose, she is determined to answer one simple question: What happened to Jennifer Pelletier?

By the author of Orphan Train, but not nearly as compelling. Story of journalist Kathryn’s return to her home town in Maine after a failed marriage, and just in time for her 10-year high school reunion, interwoven with her investigation into the graduation-night disappearance of her best friend. She interviews all her high school friends, some of which obviously know more than they are telling. By the end I was no longer interested in the characters and was just skimming just to learn what really happened.

I read this book after reading the Orphan Train which was a page turner. I was a little disappointed but it was still a good read. Just not as good.

Slow read, not what I expected after reading Orphan Train. So much detail was repeated over and over again. Also the ending was what you expected.

An interesting take on a mystery/thriller with a disappearance of a high schooler right near graduation and ten years as they gather for a reunion, there is still no body and no clues as to where she could possibly be. With a tight knit group of friends, they all didn't know the secrets that were between them and as Kathryn tries to find more clues about Jennifer's disappearance some of their secrets will come out into the light and may cause some drama.
I loved that the author used Kathryn's journalistic profession to get her to go looking into the clues from the past and to try to find new ones. It was a perfect avenue to get her into interviewing the players from the past and trying to put the old pieces together with new puzzle pieces. I thought I had a clue as to the truth behind Jennifer's disappearance and I was pleasantly surprised by the real truth and even how it unfolded. I was glad I was wrong in my guessing!
