When Tara Peary’s twin sister Sophie goes missing, Tara dives into New York’s underbelly to find her. Sophie is the one person who’s ever truly understood her, and Tara knows her sister isn’t the only one who needs help.

Tara is also on the run emotionally from her complicated childhood. Her memories are threatening to overwhelm her emotions and derail the hunt for Sophie. A psychotherapist keeps her afloat, but when Tara begins dating her therapist’s young tech-millionaire neighbor, she risks losing the only lifelines she has left.

The more Tara uncovers about her sister’s disappearance and the dark side of the rich elite, the less certain of the truth she becomes. As Tara reaches the center of the mystery, spanning from her childhood home in Georgia to a Southern California beach, she has to decide whether the truth is a price she’s willing to pay.

My thoughts:

Until We are Lost is more of a psychological tale than a thriller. Tara has lost 6 months of her life and is working with a therapist to get her memory back. As she uncovers her past and reveals secrets from her childhood, will she like what she finds?

I really wanted to love this book. It had all of the makings of a great thriller. However, I didn't like it. I feel like the story was too jumbled and I found myself re-reading parts because I felt like I missed something. I'm not usually one to want trigger warnings, but there should be some with this book. There was a very graphic scene involving her mother in the book that really turned me off. I think it's just that the story wasn't for me. But check it out, maybe you will like it more.
