Title: Name Not Taken
Author: Madeleine Henry
Genre: thriller
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.
Devon and Richard are madly in love, engaged, and she is finally going to meet his parents. But the welcome is quite frigid and critical. As a painter, Devon isn’t a traditional career woman and keeps odd hours. His parents make snide comments about her health and emotional stability, which causes Devon to become angry and frustrated.
As the wedge between Devon and Richard further divides them, his mother goes missing, causing Devon to become suspicious of the entire situation. The timing seemed too perfect for this to be a coincidence. But Richard pulls close to his family and farther from her.
This book was really good, and Devon was an excellent unreliable narrator. The ending didn’t come together as well as it could have, but overall, this is definitely one worth reading.
