Waiting on Wednesday is held every week over at Breaking the Spine, where book bloggers share what they’re looking forward to next. My WOW book rec this week is: Where I Lost Her
Before I read the blurb, the first thing that popped into my head was that this looks like the cover of a fairytale, or rather a happier book. Who is the girl, and what is the looking at? There’s almost something magical about this, but the blurb says it’s anything but:
“Spellbinding. I loved everything about Where I Lost Her.”—Mary Kubica, bestselling author of The Good Girl
In her page-turning new novel, T. Greenwood follows one woman’s journey through heartbreak and loss to courage and resolve, as she searches for the truth about a missing child.
Eight years ago, Tess and Jake were considered a power couple of the New York publishing world–happy, in love, planning a family. Failed fertility treatments and a heartbreaking attempt at adoption have fractured their marriage and left Tess edgy and adrift. A visit to friends in rural Vermont throws Tess’s world into further chaos when she sees a young, half-dressed child in the middle of the road, who then runs into the woods like a frightened deer.
The entire town begins searching for the little girl. But there are no sightings, no other witnesses, no reports of missing children. As local police and Jake point out, Tess’s imagination has played her false before. And yet Tess is compelled to keep looking, not only to save the little girl she can’t forget but to salvage her broken heart as well.
Blending her trademark lyrical prose with a superbly crafted and suspenseful narrative, Where I Lost Her is a gripping, haunting novel from a remarkable storyteller.
Who is the girl? Is Tess going nuts? This sounds like a gripping story and I suspect not at all happy-ish? I don’t know, but I wonder if the girl is in her memory after all and why Tess saw her.
What are you waiting on this week?
This sounds very mysterious and intriguing. The kind of book that will probably have you on the edge of your seat while you are reading. And I agree. I thought it’s a young adult dark fantasy book as well. 🙂 Thanks for dropping by my WoW post.
Btw, your blog looks great. So simple and clean. 😀
I am hoping so! (and thank you for your kind words about my blog!)
Oh my goodness this does sound good!! I feel like it’s going to be a real page turner of a read 🙂
I hope so Kirstie!

Kate @ The Bookaholic Blurbs!
Hee, me too! thanks kate!
This does sound absolutely gripping! I also feel like it might upset me a bit but that’s not alway a bad thing, I guess? Thanks for talking about this one – I’ll have to add it!
I think sometimes I get nervous starting a book when I know it’s going to make me nervous, but when the parts that make me nervous are just right, it’s not always a bad thing, IA. I hope you get a chance to read it 🙂
Oh, this sounds fascinating! And quite different for a mystery/thriller type of book since you aren’t sure if the child is real or not.
That’s exactly what got me intrigued yeah — is the girl real or not? It’s mind twisty goodness!
Ooooooh! This sounds intriguing! I hadn’t heard about it before and now I am super excited about it! Thank you!
