The characters straddled both sides and it was a fascinating balance. I enjoyed how it takes place in the Seattle and greater Washington areas, and showed both the high-end lifestyles & neighborhoods, and the gritty side of town. Jennifer Hillier’s writing made me relate to both of them: Marin as a mother, wife, and career woman and Kenzie as a desperate, down-and-out girl trying to dig herself out of her poverty hole. The story is told from both Marin and MacKenzie’s perspectives. Slowly, everything is uncovered and the big truth at the end is unexpected, shocking, twisty, and left me with my mouth hanging open.
I loved how the full story is revealed slowly through switching timelines, flashbacks, and perspectives. Her writing made me feel so many things: anguish, anxiety, sorrow, anger… allof the feels. She has thought-provoking quotes sprinkled throughout. She engages readers quickly into the story, knows exactly how to build suspense and pull readers into unexpected directions, to the point where you can’t stop binge-reading. Jennifer Hillier is one of the best thriller writers today. Jennifer Hillier takes this concept and amps up the plot by weaving in betrayal, stalking, revenge, complicated, tortured, likable characters, and a very generous amount of cray cray to make exceptional grip lit. On the basic, this story is about a missing child and a mother’s worst nightmare come true. I am very excited to share my review of Jennifer Hillier’s latest book with you because Jar of Hearts was one of my favorite reads of 2019. Kenzie is an enemy with a face, which means this is a problem Marin can fix.
She’s lost her son she’s not about to lose her husband, too. This discovery sparks Marin back to life. to pick up where the police left off, but instead of finding Sebastian, she learns that Derek is having an affair with a younger woman. They’re admired in their community and are a loving family-until their world falls apart the day their son Sebastian is taken.Ī year later, Marin is a shadow of herself. Married to her college sweetheart, she owns a chain of upscale hair salons, and Derek runs his own company. A lollipop, a Santa suit, and two hundred forty seconds.” – Little Secrets
