    About this audiobook

    An electrifying tale of deceit and obsession from New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl Mary Kubica

    In downtown Chicago, Esther Vaughan disappears from her apartment without a trace. A haunting letter addressed to My Dearest is found among her possessions, leaving her roommate Quinn Collins to question how well she really knew her friend. Meanwhile, in a small town an hour outside Chicago, a mysterious woman appears in the quiet coffee shop where eighteen-year-old Alex Gallo works as a dishwasher. He is immediately drawn to her, but what starts as an innocent crush quickly spirals into something far more sinister.

    As Quinn searches for answers about Esther, and Alex is drawn further under the stranger’s spell, master of suspense Mary Kubica takes readers on a taut and twisted thrill ride that builds to a stunning conclusion and shows that no matter how fast and far we run, the past always catches up with us.

    Don't miss Mary Kubica's chilling upcoming novel, She's Not Sorry, where an ICU nurse accidentally uncovers a patient's frightening past...

    And look for the new editions of The Good Girl, Every Last Lie, Pretty Baby and The Other Mrs. featuring brand new covers!

      This story ended up being great but I'm giving it 4 stars because the first half CRAWLED ON. It's all great writing and enjoyable. But around a third of the way through, I started wondering if anything was every going to happen and where it was going. It finally picked up about half way through. There were a lot of things that were easy to predict but enough surprises to keep me going.

      I don’t know what was worse the story line with a bunch of pointless filler material or the voices. Alex’s character voice was so freaking annoying, sounding like an old man although Alex is only 18. What a terrible experience.

      This was very disappointing. It had a lot of potential but it fell flat unfortunately.

    • 3/5
      A little confusing following characters but came to understand towards the end.
    • 2/5
      I bit too slow with too much irrelevant detail ,
    • 3/5
      Had to give up on this story. Too slow moving. Characters over the top n got tired listening to them. Good plot but I didn’t get to the end.
    • 1/5
      Disjointed story. When it came together it didn’t feel like a “twist” but rather a forced ending to try and make sense of it. Honestly, after that I’m not in a hurry to ready any other books by this author.
    • 3/5
      Slow start, but great ending! If you can make it through the beginning, you will appreciate the ending.
    • 2/5
      So slow! It took forever for this book to get interesting.
    • 1/5
      Bless- this was terrible. Not her best work. Don’t waste your time
    • 4/5
      I like her books. One thing that I notice is the pace. For most of the book, we are just experiencing the story and enjoying the characters. Then toward the end, the book speeds to a sprint, climax. and ends abruptly. All of the internal stories are complete. No stone left unturned. I feel rushed at the end, which is why I can't give five stars or rather, meows.
    • 4/5
      Decent. Kind if drags on. The ending ties everything together.
    • 5/5
      Very well written and little idea of the twisted ending.
    • 3/5
      It was a bit too long winded, for me -in terms of the writing style. It had a good twist but I just didn’t enjoy it that much. The narrators were great!
    • 5/5
      Wow!!! I loved it. Great plot, excellently crafted. My favorite by her so far!
    • 4/5
      One of her weaker works, a very slow burn and the end was rushed, it didn’t tie it all together
    • 4/5
      This did take a while to get into and the story seems unrelated until you get into it. This was not her best book. I did like the ending. Some what unbelievable.
    • 4/5
      Loved this once I was able to really get into it. I wasn't surprised by the ending, but I feel it was a bit abrupt.
    • 3/5
      Quinn, Esther, Alex, Genevieve, Ingrid...so many characters, all essential to the plot. Unfortunately, Quinn, who wasn't written as a particularly likeable character, dominates the story line. I felt manipulated as a reader, that the author was thinking movie or sequel instead of best possible. The plot is intriguing. The storytelling device of two separate narrators is awkward. Overall, disappointed, it could have been a better book.
    • 3/5
      This was not my favorite psychological thriller, but it was a fun experience. The twist was nicely done and I liked the stark perspective switch between Quinn and Alex. I thought the plot wasn't terribly creative and there were a number of things that cluttered the story for me (Nick's dad, Quinn's relationship with Nick, etc.), but I'm not mad I read it.
    • 4/5
      Psychological thriller - will keep you guessing until the end. Quinn's roommate, Esther, goes missing. Clues point to an Esther that Quinn can't reconcile with the Esther she knows. Meanwhile, across Lake Michigan, Alex, an 18 year old working at the local cafe, meets a girl that is very mysterious. Has Esther run away? What is happening?
    • 4/5
      Another great mystery with a lot of twists and turns.
    • 3/5
      Classic thriller where not everything is what it seems. Questions who you trust...classic.
    • 3/5
      Mystery Thriller genre - Esther Vaughn goes missing - fire escape window in her bedroom open with no trace of Esther - her roommate, Quinn - doesn't know what to do, so she engages her friend (her secret crush) at work (Ben) to help her find Esther. During the ordeal, Esther appears to be someone Quinn doesn't know with a secret change of name, possible murderer of a prior roommate? - The parallel story of Alex who also appears to befriend Esther as a squatter in the abandoned house across the street, keeps you guessing as to what is actually going on - It held my attention.. however, it lacked something so much that it really didn't do it for me. I am giving it a 2.5 stars - just wasn't for me.
    • 3/5
      When Quinn Collins set out to live on her own, she answered an ad for a roommate and moved in with Esther Vaughan never dreaming that Esther would turn out to become her best friend. Then one morning she awakes to the sound of Esther’s alarm going off but Esther’s not in her room and her bedroom window is wide open to the freezing cold Chicago air. Surely she didn’t climb down the fire escape in the middle of the night! Quinn waits in vain for Esther to return but it doesn’t happen. It seems that Esther has disappeared! Was she kidnapped? Did she run away from something? Quinn idolizes Esther and she can’t imagine what has happened to her. She enlists the help of her friend Ben from work and tries to figure out where Esther is. But the more Quinn tries to puzzle through what happened to Esther, the more she realizes how little she really knows about her friend. She’s beginning to think that Esther is not the saint that she always imagined. Meanwhile, in a small town near Lake Michigan, a young man named Alex Gallo has given up his dream of college to take care of his father who became a good-for-nothing drunkard when his mother left. He spends his hopeless days working as a dishwasher in the Priddy’s café. One day a new customer comes in and she’s a young woman he has never seen around town before. Alex gives the woman the name “Pearl” and he finds her to be quite an intriguing mystery. He sets his sights on finding out more about her. But Alex’s boredom and loneliness may be leading him down a dangerous road. Don’t You Cry is full of suspense and the details of each storyline will keep the reader guessing right up until the end. Piece by piece the puzzle falls into place until the big reveal. This is one of those where you think you have it all figured out but you never quite get there. A fast-paced and compelling read! I want to thank the publisher (Harlequin- US & Canada) for providing me with the ARC through NetGalley for an honest review.
