And Then You Were Gone by R.J. Jacobs- Book Review


"And Then You Were Gone"  by R.J. Jacobs was the prefect book to read when I wanted a little bit of the unknown.  This book kept me guessing what was going to happen next, which character to trust and definitely what the ending was going to be!  Unfortunately for me I was not able to read the book in one sitting, but when I did get to continue the book I was able to pick right back up where I left off.  I liked that the main character had a mental illness that kept her and others questioning her story.  The reason behind Paolo's disappearance and the murders was a good story. Overall I would definitely recommend this book 4 out of 5 stars! Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my copy of this book for my honest opinion.

Here is Amazon.com's description of the book:

For fans of B. A. Paris and Mary Kubica comes a propulsive, twisting psychological thriller that asks, How can you save someone else if you can’t save yourself?

After years of learning how to manage her bipolar disorder, Emily Firestone finally has it under control. Even better, her life is coming together: she’s got a great job, her own place, and a boyfriend, Paolo, who adores her. So when Paolo suggests a weekend sailing trip, Emily agrees―wine, water, and the man she loves? What could be better? But when Emily wakes the morning after they set sail, the boat is still adrift…and Paolo is gone.

A strong swimmer, there’s no way Paolo drowned, but Emily is at a loss for any other explanation. Where else could he have gone? And why? As the hours and days pass by, each moment marking Paolo’s disappearance, Emily’s hard-won stability begins to slip.

But when Emily uncovers evidence suggesting Paolo was murdered, the investigation throws her mania into overdrive, even as she becomes a person of interest in her own personal tragedy. To clear her name, Emily must find the truth―but can she hold onto her own sanity in the process?
