What She Left written by Rosie Fiore focuses on why the main character Helen Cooper would leave her 'perfect' life which included her husband, home and daughters without any clues or obvious reasons for leaving.

This book is first told from her husband Sam's perspective but later is told from multiple perspectives. Throughout the book we really don't see a lot from Helen's point of view which means that the narrative is really taken over from those who were a part of her life. Because of this, we really get a personal insight to Helen's reasoning due to her husband and his controlling nature which he himself isn't completely aware of. This helps to really get inside her thought process about leaving.

The plot itself has plenty of twists and turns but gets a bit dry in the middle when its trying to build up the final reveal. But over all it is an exciting book that is fun to read and flows great!
