Review of Don't Look For Me by Wendy Walker

 I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

"In Wendy Walker's thrilling novel Don't Look for Me, the greatest risk isn’t running away. It’s running out of time.

One night, Molly Clarke walked away from her life.

She doesn't want to be found.

Or at least, that's the story.

The car abandoned miles from home.

The note found at a nearby hotel.

The shattered family that couldn’t be put back together.

They called it a “walk away.”

It happens all the time.

Women disappear, desperate to leave their lives behind and start over.

But is that what really happened to Molly Clarke?

My Review:

4 Stars

Survivor's guilt is a terrible thing. Especially when it's a parent who is grieving the loss of a child. We all know that parents shouldn't out live their children. So when the unspeakable happens it's no wonder that Molly Clarke isn't the woman that she used to be. 

Was that enough for her to just walk away from everything? To turn her back and head for a new life that didn't contain this amount of pain didn't seem like much of a stretch. Anyone in her shoes would jump at the chance to do the same. To start over and pretend that they haven't endured the most painful event a parent ever could. 

A heart wrenching and tearful journey through the loss of a child and therefore the loss of a life once lived.
