Over time, I�ve come across numerous praises for Sarah Pekkanen�s writing, yet I hadn�t taken the time to read any of her work until now (I swear I�ll read through her backlog sometime!). Perhaps Gone Tonight wasn�t the best choice for my introduction to her writing � I�ll have to rely on her dedicated fans to comment on that bit.
I find myself somewhat uncertain about my feelings toward Gone Tonight. It began as one book (or so I thought) but transformed into something entirely different in the process. Honestly, I can�t say I formed a strong attachment to either version of the narrative.
Initially, this novel deeply stirred my emotions and evoked fear, particularly given its exploration of memory loss and Alzheimer�s. However, as the mystery unraveled, my sentiment toward the book evolved. I became increasingly frustrated, primarily with the central characters, Catherine and Ruth. If only they had placed more trust in each other, the course of events could have taken a markedly different turn. Yet, this is a sentiment often associated with mystery novels. After all, what would be the point if it were not so?
