Loved it! Couldn’t stop reading it

Ellie is a 15-year-old girl who vanished on her way home one day. Laurel's life stalled after the loss of her beloved daughter Ellie; her marriage fell apart, and her relationship with her other two children became complicated. Despite this, she never gave up hope of finding Ellie. After 10 years, Laurel is endeavouring to embark on her life. She meets Floyd, a single dad. However, when Laurel finally gets to meet Floyd's daughter, Poppy, the striking resemblance between her and Ellie makes Laurel unnerved. Laurel becomes sceptical after noticing a few more similarities. This leads Laurel into a mysterious loop.

Gripping but disturbing. Her writing style is simple and easy to read yet vivid and touching. A page Turner... finished it in 2 days.

Book came in perfect condition.

It was a great experience reading this book. The story is amazing and it keep you wondering what happens next. But sometimes it felt like the story was predictable. This was my first book by Lisa Jewell and I have ordered 2 more of her books. Really excited to read them both.

I didn’t think Lisa Jewell could surpass the stunning I Found You so I admit to being totally amazed by how much I adored Then She Was Gone. Not only did it surprise me by being a completely different storyline to the one that I had been expecting but it also brought some rather unexpected emotions to the surface and made me a blubbering, snotty mess at times! It had an intriguing plot and was beautifully written with some engaging character creations, especially Laurel with whom I shared a great deal of empathy right from the start. Laurels teenage daughter Ellie goes missing at the age of 15 leaving behind no clues as to what has happened to her. She also leaves behind a devastated family, possibly fractured beyond repair, so that years later Laurel appears to be living a very lonely life with limited and often awkward contact with her ex husband and grown up children. She seems shut off from life itself so will a chance encounter with an attractive stranger lead to an a new start for Laurel? But upon meeting his nine year old daughter Poppy, she is shocked to see in her a strong resemblance to Ellie. Is the truth about what happened to Ellie about to come out? I became heavily involved in this family drama remarkably quickly as I felt a huge amount of sympathy for this poor family. Ellie’s disappearance had affected each of them in very different ways but had ultimately also affected their relationships both within their family and with outsiders. As a parent myself I could only imagine the feelings of loss that must have faced Laurel and so felt pleased that she seemed to have found some happiness at last. But Lisa Jewell has bitten into the psychological thriller genre, taking a chunk out of our preconceived notions of plot development and chewed them up before spitting them back out again! Honestly, I was shocked at some of the twists that came along and tried to veer towards explainable reasons for what had occurred but nothing could have prepared me for what fate had in store for everyone. This book had a powerful and deeply emotional impact on me and I have to admit that I think it’s her best book yet. You will not be able to put it down until that very last word has been read and digested, leaving behind a small piece of your heart within those pages. So it comes highly recommended by me. I loved it!

Great reading. It got me engaged right from the start. Highly recommend.
