If Something Happens to Me

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and the author for an ARC of this book.

This book was a wild ride that I couldn’t put down. As soon as I started, I finished it in 1.5 days. The premise of how the story begins is so interesting. How has Ryan seen the face? He was sure he recognized from the day, his girlfriend was taken… But in another country while studying abroad?

If I couldn’t identify a single word to label this novel, as it would be surprising. The little things and the plot goes so much deeper than they appear on the surface. And ways that I couldn’t see almost anyone predicting.

I also loved the dual point of view of Ryan: the boyfriend of the missing girl Allison and Poppy: one of the investigators. Normally, I typically favor reading from one specific characters point of view, but this was not the case here as both were pivotal to what occurred in the story.

Reading from Ryan and Poppy’s perspectives really makes the reader question how the heck is happening with Ryan and Europe could actually be related to his girlfriend at home. Everything seems so unrelated. And who are the two randos and Ali‘s car all these questions really keep the reader engaged.

I feel like I can’t really say much more about this book without really giving away something that would be very exciting to read about.

I’m already an Alex Finlay fan, and this book was no less amazing than his previous stories. I would definitely recommend this book to any mystery and thriller lovers especially those liking Riley Sager books Sally Hepworth, Simone St. James, Sarah Pekkanen, Gillian McAllister, Lisa Jewell, and the like.
