What a strange little novella this is.

Eleven year old Elly rides her bike to her sports class as she has done many times before however this time she doesn't arrive. She also doesn't return home. The police investigation can find no explanation for her disappearance. The family is told to move on.

Four years later and Elly returns. Or did she?

For a book with a 2.91 average rating on Goodreads I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The writing is beautiful and the story slowly builds in tension and there is a touch of menace in the air as you are reading. You can easily read this in an hour or two and I found this to be a fine way to pass some time. 4 stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and Scribe UK for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

3.5 stars

Well told story of the grief of losing someone.
You miss them,you long for them to come back.
Then when they do,you talk yourself into believing anything.
I enjoyed the multiple narrative,mostly Ellys sister,so desperate to have her back or know what happened.
Good to get some sort of resolution towards the end too.

Absolutely amazing book. A very hard subject to read but was written so well it was a fabulous read. Highly recommended xxx
