The First Time I Saw Him by Laura Dave (audiobook)

genre: thriller

In this follow up to The Last Thing He Told Me, we start of knowing a few things.  Owen is still gone.  It's been over five years and now Hannah and Bailey have set up a new life together.  Bailey's grandpa is even a part of it and despite missing Owen like crazy, life isn't completely bad.  What Hannah knows, though, is that this kind of peace can never last, not when you're caught up in a web like they are.  So when she gets the slightest hint that things are getting shifty, all bets are off. And the only two things that keep her going are #1 keeping Bailey safe and #2, the possibility that Owen could be a part of their lives again.

This was a quick and interesting listen.  I was all in from the start and the multiple points of view helped move things along - maybe it helps that I did really enjoy the first book.  I  I like when people aren't just straight up good or bad, it makes my brain buzz with trying to figure out if I can root for them or not.  I DO know that I like Hannah as a character, I like her desperate love as a step-mamma for Bailey and the twists in this short book were just good enough.
