The Clarke family has been under severe strain for the past 5 years so it's not terribly surprising when Molly doesn't come home after visiting their son, Evan, at college. Molly and John are estranged and can't seem to bridge the gap to repair their marriage. Their daughter, Nicole, has basically kicked off her own future after being expelled from high school and the only words that come out of her mouth lately are mean ones. Although there's a search effort when Molly's car is found abandoned near a gas station, police and others soon decide that she's done a walk away. But has she? NO SPOILERS.
I have mixed emotions regarding this book as it didn't go in the direction I'd anticipated and ended up being something much different than expected. Although I read it in a single sitting today, it wasn't particularly fast-paced and there was a lot of emotion and "thinking" going on. Told from the alternating perspectives of both Molly and her daughter, Nic, there was some repetition and overlap. All told, I enjoyed it well enough but it didn't strike me as a thriller, more a psychological or domestic drama.
