When The Lights Go Out by Mary Kubica

I first requested this book on Netgalley and never heard back from them... then I entered a contest that Mary Kubica was having on Twitter and I ended up winning an ARC - thank you, Mary!  I'm a huge fan so I was thrilled.  Then, about two weeks later, I unexpectedly heard from Netgalley that I had access to read this book.  I had to read it right away.

There's no doubt that I love Mary Kubica and once again, she did not let me down.

After Jessie's mother, Eden, passes away, she begins to build a life of her own trying to fulfill her mother's last wishes to find herself by applying to college and renting a new apartment.  It's not until she gets a call from the college (and subsequently, an online search for answers) that sends her in a tail spin not knowing what to think causing many sleepless nights in a row.  Constantly wondering who her dad is, she tries to find him, she needs to know but as her body wears down from lack of sleep, Jessie can't tell what real or just figments of her imagination leaving the reader just as vulnerable.

The story is told in alternating POV between then and now, between Jessie and Eden.  It's one that I think you'll enjoy.

Thank you to Netgalley and Ms. Kubica for the chance to read this one early!

Expected publication: September 4th 2018.
