Molly Clark is living a life full of grief and unhappiness, mostly due to an event that changed everything about her life, her marriage, and her family dynamics. One stormy night, she gets abducted, and the trajectory of her life changes forever. Don't Look for Me is the story of redemption and second chances. It is a compelling read, a page-turner. It's surprising - there were numerous times I was shocked! The book is full of emotion and mystery, love and hate. Ultimately, the ending is appropriate and satisfying.

Thank you, NetGalley, for allowing me to read this book.

This book gave me chills up and down my spine right through to the very end. I love books that hook me right off to the point where I don't want to put the book down - this book was one of those books.

Molly Clarke is a good mom who, through a tragic accident, becomes enemy #1 in her house. Her husband, son, and daughter all blame her for the accident and Molly contemplates just leaving her life behind as she's driving home during a hurricane . This book alternates between the point of view of Molly and Molly's 21 year old daughter, Nicole (or Nic). I really liked that, as a reader, you know what Molly is going through and (sort of) where she is, while also getting the perspective of Nic as she tries to piece together where her mom is after Molly's car is discovered abandoned on the side of the road. Molly's disappearance forces Nic to reflect on her own role in the accident that she was quick to pin solely on her mom and, even though her own father wants her to stop searching and come home, she vows to search until she has an answer to what happened to her mom.

This was a fast-paced read that frequently had my jaw dropping in surprise. I thought the author did a great job with the unpredictability of this book!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for providing a copy for review.

This book does not disappoint! Molly is a shell of her former self after accidentally hitting your youngest daughter with her car and killing her. She believes that she is unlovable now, that she is a terrible mother and wife and that everyone would be better off if she were just gone. The book opens with Molly making the hours long drive home, during an incredibly bad storm, from her son's game at his boarding school. As she passes through the small town that she has always stopped in to get gas, she sees everything is boarded up due to the storm. Just her luck, she runs out of gas. Molly isn't really thinking straight, she is convinced she just needs to disappear from everyone's life. She gets out of her car and starts walking through the downpour, almost in a haze, and just disappears. 3 months later, her oldest daughter, Nic, gets a tip from an anonymous woman saying she saw Molly getting into a truck that same night. Nic decides to go meet the woman in person in the town her mother disappeared in. This sets off a chain of events that will keep you up late into the night to see what will happen next. It weaves expertly between Nic's POV and Molly's POV giving you just enough in each chapter to hook you to keep reading. At the end of the book, you think you know how it all is being wrapped up but you will be wrong. Hold on to your britches because the ending will send you for a loop! I highly recommend this book.

Sooo good! A suspenseful, psychological thriller with lots of interesting characters.

A stormy night in a small town, Molly disappeared on her way home from her son's football game. Her car is found on the side of the road with her phone still inside, yet she is nowhere to be found. After searching, the police determined she "walked away" from her life. Her daughter Nicole is convinced otherwise, knowing her mom would never leave their family.

Alternating POV’s between Molly and Nicole, this story will have you suspecting everyone in town while trying to untangle their web of lies. Just when you think you’ve figured out the villain, another surprise awaits.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for sending me an ARC!

Wow this book was full of twists and turns. Especially because there is a major plot twist that you definitely don't see coming even though you feel like you know what it is. It was incredibly written and I can't wait to share this with friends and family!

I loved this book. , I just wish it was longer. The characters live and pull you in. You can feel their joys and sorrows, and will be happy when love finally conquers all.

Don’t Look for me- grabbed me from the first page. It’s a mystery that centers around a family grieving for a child they lost.
The family members after 5 years, cannot come to terms with what happened. The parents and two children face it in their own way.
It takes another potential tragedy to bring them back to each other.

This book pulled me in in the first chapter..... a great who dun it ..... reading this my mind went everywhere , who did it who’s involved , just an all around great suspense novel

Complex, thrilling, and kept me on the edge of my seat! Thank heavens that I started reading this on a weekend as I could not put it down. Off to find others by this amazing author.

Dont’t Look For Me touches on grief, family, coping skills and communication. This book also touches on the complexities of a family who experienced a traumatic event. I really felt for Molly even though I do not have children. I thought I knew who the bad guy was but I was wrong. Great summer read!

I loved this!!! The author really elevated her writing, bringing it to the next level. The story was very suspenseful, well-detailed, and there were lots of layers that kept me guessing. The ending was a bit too happy for me, but otherwise I really enjoyed this.

This book is interesting and has two different points of view. Molly accidently killed her daughter and after five years is still struggling. One evening she is disappeared leaving her car and a note saying she is leaving. Her daughter, Nic, does not believe she would, but is still hurting from the death of her sister. She goes out to try and find out what really happened. I did finish this book and thought it was good and the writing too. There is a lot of the book given over the tragedy which may be have been too much. The mystery was solved in the last of the book and was interesting and made the book worth reading. If you like a lot of emotional angst and a good mystery this book is for you. Thank you, Net Galley, for an advanced copy for an honest review.

I kept thinking I had it all figured out, and then another twist would happen and I'd be back to guessing again. I enjoyed this thriller and its complexity.

This is a very cleverly presented thriller. Two alternating narratives provide a constantly changing story. The changing perspective both confounds but also enlightens the reader. The characters are well drawn and the story at the core, heart-wrenching to begin with, achieves a cathartic conclusion. I found it a very satisfying read!

I read this book in one sitting. It was that scary and that good. I was repeatedly wrong about the bad guy.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the title. The author does a great job making you wonder for a while whether wife and mother Mollie Clarke ran away from her family or whether something sinister has happened.

Her possibly straying husband and her two snotty teenagers are well-drawn and probably recognizable to many readers. The characters in the small town where Mollie disappears-- well, they're all a little "off," as they should be.

Read this book when you absolutely have nowhere else you need to be! You won't be able to put it down.

Could not put this one down! There are so many twists and turns in this book that will keep you reading until the very last page.

After a tragedy, a family is torn apart. And then a woman goes missing... Molly's youngest was killed in a car accident, and Molly was the driver. Now she and her husband are distant, and her two remaining children are angry and sullen. One evening, Molly is out and doesn't come home. Her family gets a note requesting they not look for her. Did she just up and leave, unable to cope anymore? Her daughter Nic doesn't think so. So what really happened? And Meanwhile, Molly has car trouble and meets a man and a little girl who offer to help her for the evening as a large storm is brewing. But there is a storm of a whole different kind brewing... This was a different story that kept me wondering what was going to happen and would Molly be found.

While I found the premise to “Don’t Look for Me” to be intriguing, I am clearly in the minority when it comes to my opinion of this book, because this one just didn’t do it for me. Perhaps it’s because I guessed the perpetrator’s true identity early on. Or maybe I can blame it on the unrealistic way that the story ultimately played out. Regardless, “Don’t Look for Me” failed to meet my highly eager expectations. Don’t get me wrong—there are enough good components to this story to make it a fairly decent mystery, but overall, it just wasn’t enough for me to deliver a 5-star rating.

Great. book. I love all of Wendy's books. Her character developments is always so interesting. The story line kept you hanging till the end.

This is a great fast paced summer thriller! It’s well written and the storyline is both interesting and entertaining. You keep on waiting to read 9ne more chapter to find out what happens. Perfect book for those days at the beach, highly recommend!
