Tallulah will steal your heart

 

  ⭑⭑⭑⭑  Never disappointing, Lisa Jewell pens another winner here with The Night She Disappeared. Setting off it may feel a bit disjointed as the story pops around from different points of view, and at differing timelines, but hang in there. This story has so much heart and really sinks its teeth into you, as the reader, as you get into the rhythm with the story.

One thing upon which you can rely when reading a Lisa Jewell novel is an array of characters well sketched with a story that tugs hard on the heartstrings. In The Night She Disappeared our hearts go out to young mother Tallulah as she tries to navigate new motherhood whilst juggling college and a relationship that is rather taxing. But that's just the start of her journey as she finds her feet and more than she can handle. Young angst is bread and butter to Lisa Jewell who takes this story and turns it into something special by exploring all the varying angles of Tallulah's life struggles.

I'm not going to lie, I sat on this book for a while as I waited for the Audible's version narrated by the talented Joanne Froggatt. Joanne, being a skilled actress, is superb with voices and reads each character with such feeling, truly making this story come to life. So if you enjoy a good audiobook, I highly recommend The Night She Disappeared.
