Oh Claire Darling!
If a man walks away, hold your head high and LET HIM!
Claire is excited to drop off a surprise workday lunch for her fiancé Noah on their anniversary, but the surprise is on her when the receptionist tells her that no one with Noah's name works there.
Suddenly, he isn't picking up her calls or answering her texts.
She has been ghosted!
With her new friend Sukhi by her side, Claire is determined to get answers. In fact, she becomes OBSESSED.
But, she REFUSES to believe the things that they find.
This psychological thriller opens with a MURDER, and ends with a Courtroom TRIAL, but in between you will learn about all of the ways Noah has humiliated her in the present and all of the ways her MOTHER has abused her in the past-IF you can believe everything that Claire (and her diary entries) are telling you�..
As a reader of MANY books in this genre, I could predict where much of this was going BUT despite that, the story DID hold my attention throughout and offered up a fun, memorable ending!
A promising debut! I will definitely pick up the author’s next!
3.75 ⭐️ rounded ⬆️
A buddy read with MarilynW. Be sure to watch for her review to see if she had fun with this one too!
