4.5⭐️ This was another incredible story by Sarah that I could not put down and I absolutely loved it! It follows the relationship between a mother, Ruth, and her daughter, Catherine and it’s always been them against the world. Now the secrets from Ruth’s past are coming to light, her need to keep her daughter close will only ignite Catherine’s curiosity about what her mother is hiding…. Gone Tonight is a slow burning, shocking thriller that will have you speeding through the pages to find out the truth. The story is told through both women with flashbacks of the past that only add to the tense and foreboding atmosphere! This book is a must read for sure 🫶🏻.

Ruth and Catherine are a mother and daughter duo who have always had a closer than average relationship, perhaps because they have only ever had each other to rely on.

Aside from not having any other significant family relationships, their lifestyle has also served to reinforce the intensity of that bond. While raising her daughter, Ruth moved multiple times, working a variety of jobs in a number of different cities. But was it really necessary for her to move around so much?

Catherine is now 24 years old and a nurse, and she is planning to move to another city as the logical next step in her career and life plans. But her mother is far from keen on that idea!

Unfortunately, Ruth's memory appears to be deteriorating, and she tells her daughter that she has a family history of Alzheimer's.

So it looks as though Catherine may have to change her plans. Not least because the time in which Catherine can get the full story of Ruth's life decisions out of her mother is running out quickly.

But is Ruth even who Catherine thinks she is? And what will finding out the truth cost Catherine?

This is an interesting and unusual story, and successfully holds the reader's attention. The bond between mothers and daughters is examined closely in the book, as well as considering how much that tie can endure.

Perhaps what Catherine doesn't know won't hurt her. But then again, the reverse may also be true...
