I know where she buys her groceries, where she has her dry cleaning done, where she works. I don’t know the color of her eyes or what they look like when she’s scared. But I will.” One night, Mia Dennett enters a bar to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn’t show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic stranger. At first Colin Thatcher seems like a safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia’s life.

I loved the way in which the novel was written. Books that bend the boundaries of traditional writing styles really intrigue me. It kept me interested from start to finish and is filled with surprises you weren't expecting. I really enjoyed reading it.

I was looking for something like Gone Girl. Instead, I ended up with the most contrived story, which was not even written well. I listened to the audio version until the end but wish I had spent my time on a better book.
