Are you going to help that friend of yours? But for that, you have to go to your hometown where the air still holds the smell of your eerie past. Now tell me, are you going to help your friend? Are you a good friend?

Emily Moore is a waitress by profession and lives a workaholic and stressful life, though everything soothes as she comes home and embraces her daughter Lucy.

One fine day, opening an old friend's email whom she hasn't talked to in 15 years, becomes a profuse debt for her to pay. The mail isn't inviting Emily for a reunion, but it is a desperate plea from her childhood friend Ali, who is in some kind of terrible trouble which isn't mentioned in the mail. 

A day's inquiry leads Emily to the groundbreaking news that her friend Ali is missing and it takes Emily to the lands of her hometown, years back, where she takes oaths not to visit it in her life ever. But that mysterious mail and destiny ensnare her as soon as she inhales the air of that city.

Review

An outstanding start which puts the stacks high for the book "See You Soon" by NC Marshall, I started assuming that it is going to be an intense, thrilling read with a roller coaster ride kinda plot, though my all expectations shattered as the story progressed and became a monotonous read.

Sometimes it shows some rays of hope in the development of the plot, but that all too vanishes. A lot of chapters were forcefully added to the book which could be easily excluded. It may decrease the length of the book but wouldn't affect the story. 

I was expecting more wisdom from the main characters of the book, Emily was doing the dumbest thing and still wouldn't face any bizarre consequences. The author could do better things with this kind of concept, but she did nothing to surprise.

However, Writing and narration are fascinating which helped me a lot to sail till the end of the story. It's a fast-paced lite thriller book which you can finish in just two or one sitting by investing a few hours. It's a good companion for rainy days.
