Review: Missing Pieces

Missing Pieces by Heather Gudenkauf
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The description for this book was great, but I'm sorry to say that although it was a light, fast read, it just didn't sum up.

After the murder of his parents, almost 30 years before, Jack returns to his hometown to visit the aunt who adopted him and his sister, and who has just suffered a life threatening accident. His wife Sarah meets his family for the first time, and is astonished to discover that almost all she knows about her husband is not true.
The main characters: Jack, who has been hiding his past from his wife and daughters; his wife Sarah who used to be a reporter and now gives advice on her local newspaper, and Jack's family.
What's more, Sarah is a busybody who overthinks everything, which only confuses her more (and the reader). Jack is just meh... after all the bad things that happened to him, he could be a moe engaging character.

The end, however, was a complete surprise, and that's what saved the book for me. I really didn't imagine the twists and turns in the final part!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
