What a great story. Apparently it belongs to someone who is deceased. Pretty Baby: A Gripping Novel of Psychological Suspense What a complete and utter waste of time that was. Meanwhile, after her mother dies, the daughter roams around Chicago missing her mother, not being able sleep, wondering if her mother was really her mother or is she was "stolen" as a child. After all that?!! It's that bad. When The Lights Go Out.
The truth will shock her to her core…if she lives long enough to discover it.Kubica brilliantly unravels the lives of two women in this tense and haunting tale of identity and deceit.
I appreciate how much she researches her topics and gives her readers an accurate portrayal of these issues. The clever way all of the clues were in the story and how they unlocked the twist was wonderful. Don’t You Cr...[I must have missed it, but why did Eden steal a baby’s identity for Jessie? I know it happens but this seems way over the top. The end section of the book is so crazy, you get the feeling the author has been there - out of her mind crazy.

After a few pages the end result of the story is very clear. I loved The Good Girl. When the Lights Go Out has a rather controversial ending! This book started good and was somewhat intriguing throughout, however the 'big twist' at the end was complete rubbish and I'm sorry to say, just lacked imagination on the authors part.
The "twist" was really more of a deception that made you realize that you had just wasted hours of your time. Addictive new thriller it certainly is not. If you love Kubica and feel you have to buy this then go ahead, waste you money, but don't read it and waste you time as well. The majority of the story is about Jessie's grief following her mother's death, her insomnia, and trying to find out who she really is. The book had enough redeeming qualities so as not to be a waste of time or money.

Those thrilling twists never arrived - it was very predictable and the characters were unrelatable and cliched, but I kept reading, thinking that I just hadn’t got to the good bit yet.
Oh dear! It has been quite the controversy in the book world because I can tell you, of all the twists you can imagine it probably won’t be the one that occurs. I have read all her previous books and loved them and this book was excellent. Read like the rantings of someone mentally unhinged.

Addictive new thriller it certainly is not. If Jessie wasn’t kidnapped seems no reason for this, what duped I miss? Before she dies, her mother tells her to find herself and fMary Kubica has taken a foray in an unusual direction from her usual psychological thrillers with this mystery featuring Jessie Sloane set in Chicago.
It simply simmers as you read. It is tedious and repetitive -- a obsessive diatribe of conceiving and having a baby -- I had to start skimming just to help me get through it. Since there are people who enjoyed the ending, I don't want to give it away. What goes on in the minds of publishers and editors to let this slip through?
You've got to be kidding me!Mary Kubica has taken a foray in an unusual direction from her usual psychological thrillers with this mystery featuring Jessie Sloane set in Chicago. This book is definitely a slow burn. The lowdown from Goodreads. I felt great sympathy for the characters and Eden's story was extremely emotional.I was drawn in right away into the lives and struggles of our two main characters here with Jessie in the present dealing with insomnia and grief from losing her mother and Eden in the past with Eden dealing with infertility issues that start to unravel her life.I was drawn in right away into the lives and struggles of our two main characters here with Jessie in the present dealing with insomnia and grief from losing her mother and Eden in the past with Eden dealing with infertility issues that start to unravel her life.When the Lights Go Out by Mary Kubica is a thriller that is told through again using alternating timelines and alternating points of view. Why fainting happens, and how to nip it in the bud.
When the lights go out is the second book by Mary kubica that I've read and I'm not sure why I've missed a couple because this is better than the first book I read.When the lights go out is the second book by Mary kubica that I've read and I'm not sure why I've missed a couple because this is better than the first book I read.Jessie Sloane is sitting vigil next to her mother who has reached the final stage of her terminal cancer.

The film …
I'd still recommend this book because there's a lot of good in there but I had to take a star off for that ending!

It was as if she either couldn't decide how to finish it, or simply couldn't be bothered.
Very disturbing.
