Synopsis

What happens when your worst fear comes true? Her only daughter has just gone away to college, and Maggie O'Farrell knows she's turning into one of those helicopter parents she used to mock. Worrying constantly, texting more than she should, even occasionally dropping by the campus "just to say hi." But Maggie can't shake the feeling that something terrible is about to happen to Emma. And then, just as Maggie starts to relax, her daughter disappears. The clues are disturbing. An empty dorm room where Emma was supposedly living. A mysterious boy described as Future Husband in her phone. Dormmates who seem more sinister than friendly. As Maggie combs over the campus looking for signs of her daughter, she learns more about Emma's life than she ever thought possible. Kelly Simmons delivers another gripping novel in Where She Went, an unforgettable story of letting go and the secrets that surface when the person keeping them is gone.

This book took me quite awhile to read, which is never a good sign. Right off the bat, I'm just going to say it...this book was classified incorrectly. It is not a suspense, thriller, or mystery...and it MOST DEFINITELY isn't a psychological thriller. This is women's fiction. And not overly inte......more

Goodreads review by Dorine on October 16, 2019

Rated 4.5 - Where She Went by Kelly Simmons is an edgy, suspenseful story focused on family and what we’ll do to save our own. The two viewpoints and timelines push the story forward in an exhilarating ride to the end. Maggie has been dealt one dirty deal after another, but through it all she loves h......more

Goodreads review by Jamie Rosenblit on September 25, 2019

3.5 Stars Before I go down my rant of how important it is to properly classify a genre of a book - I'll just say - Where She Went is women's fiction, NOT a thriller. Hopefully this classification will help improve your reading experience of what is a very enjoyable women's fiction novel! Where She Wen......more
