A clever, sad and sinister concept around child abduction and disappearances. Everyone in the story was hurting for different reasons.

I enjoyed the book, but if you really thought about it, the scenarios weren’t really possible.

Read it, but be prepared to go with the flow and not try to understand if it could really happen, so many times.

It’s a very unusual book not really for me i did skip a few pages as there was too much detail and repetition, but having said that I did enjoy it and thought the plot was very cleverly written and the ending came as a shock as never saw it coming..

Jenny disappeared when she was six.
12 years later she finally escapes her kidnappers and is reunited with her family where she can finally find safety. But is her family really happy to have her back? And is she really safe?

If you're looking for a fast-paced domestic thriller, then look no further.
It was a really good read. The story is told from Jenny's perspective, and I really enjoyed her narration.
The plot is gripping and intriguing, with a twist that I didn't see coming.
The only thing I didn't particularly like was the final conclusion. It's hard to explain it without revealing spoilers, but I just found Jenny's intentions quite unbelievable, especially considering what she went through.
I was deliberating between 3 and 4 stars. My reservation lay with the formatting of the copy I received ( numbers strewn across the pages and uneven division of the text ), and yes, I know it was an uncorrected proof copy, but still, it was interfering with me enjoying the story. But I concluded that this shouldn't affect the rating which is all about the story and I decide to give it 4 stars.

Is Safe realistic? No. Is Safe interesting? Yes.

Throw your believability away, you don’t need it for this book. Once you get past that you really begin to enjoy this story. It’s full of nasty characters and nasty things. It takes a lot to shock me but Safe really did!

A good read.
What you do if your child gone missing? And then she suddenly appears at your door. But is she who you think she is? Or something is terribly wrong?
She's not answering any of her parents questions. Where she was gone? How she came back home? Is she safe now?
This is a good story which kept me hooked. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House UK Cornerstone for giving me an advance copy.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. I understand this is an unedited copy but it was really hard to follow with random numbers all over all the pages. I actually skimmed it more so because of that. Disturbing ending but didn't see it coming. I think i could have enjoyed it more if the format wasn't so messed up.
