This is what happens when two women have had enough...
Cole is the perfect husband; a romantic, supportive of his wife’s career, keen to be a hands-on dad, not a big drinker. A good guy.
So when his wife leaves him, he's floored. She was lucky to be with a man like him.
Craving solitude, he accepts a job on the coast and quickly settles into his new life. Then he meets reclusive artist Lennie. And though she is quite different from the woman he’d expected, he believes he has finally found a soulmate.
But as their relationship develops, two young women go missing while on a walk protesting gendered violence, right by where Cole and Lennie live. Finding themselves at the heart of a police investigation and media frenzy, Cole soon realises they don’t know each other very well at all . . .
If most men say they’re one of the good guys, then why are so many women afraid to walk alone at night?
This book is definitely thought-provoking. As I started the book you could tell that something seemed very 'not right' but I couldn't work out what. As the storyline unfolded I was convinced that something was happening during our main male character Cole's 'blackouts' that was going to be the key to the answer.
As I carried on reading and the storyline seemed to be getting deeper I could not believe where it was going. I liked the fact that the book is told in almost three sections, Cole's words, Mel's words (Cole's ex-wife) and Lennie's words (Cole's new found friend). Each of them revealing the story from their own parts and involvement.
I also liked that fact that there was social media inputs written into the book as sadly the types of comments that were included are the things that are written on real social media posts about real people.
It is a book that explores the topic of women feeling afraid and the relationship between men and women. It has been done in a very intriguing and thought-provoking way.
