"Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life. Grady calls his wife to share some exciting news as she is driving home. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by the cliff edge the headlights are on, the driver door is open, her phone is still there. . . but his wife has disappeared. A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can't sleep, and he can't write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible - a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife. Wives think their husbands will change but they don't. Husbands think their wives won't change but they do"--

★★★☆☆

I couldn’t get into this book. I tried, but kept putting it down and only reading a few pages at a time. There were several places I felt like we were getting somewhere and were going to figure out what was going on with Grady. Nope. It was also hard to tell who the flashbacks that were happening in between present day time were for. I got to the last 20 pages I was not happy with the path the plot took or the way it ended.
