Synopsis – The Day He Disappeared
The Day He Disappeared: An absolutely heartbreaking and unputdownable page-turner by Catherine Miller
‘He wouldn’t just vanish!’ Kate cries, her head in her hands. ‘Something is wrong, I can feel it. And I have to find him before it’s too late…’
When Kate meets Theo on the worst day of her life, the last thing she expects is to fall in love.
Sitting on a broken-down train, desperate to reach her brother before his last breath, Kate can barely hold it together as the minutes tick by. But then Theo, a man with a kind smile, offers to help. And as he gets Kate to the hospital on the darkest day of her life, she feels something brighten in her chest.
As Kate mends her broken heart, Theo doesn’t leave her side. Each day, he brings small joys to her life – from spontaneous dates in the hospital canteen, to a romantic weekend under the stars. And as she looks into his warm brown eyes, feeling more at peace than she has for years, she knows she has found happiness at last…
But then Theo vanishes. Kate’s calls go unanswered, and his house stays dark and empty. No matter what her friends say, she knows something isn’t right. Theo wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye.
Determined to find him, Kate begins to search for the man she loves. But when she finds out the truth behind why he disappeared, her heart breaks once more. Because Theo made a promise to protect Kate, which is why he had to leave her… But can Kate face the truth and find Theo before it’s too late?
An absolutely heartbreaking, emotional novel that will keep you reading late into the night. Perfect for fans of unputdownable and page-turning family dramas, and for readers of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.

My Review
The Day He Disappeared: An absolutely heartbreaking and unputdownable page-turner by Catherine Miller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars.
Based on the title I was expecting this to be a thriller so I was surprised it was more of romance. The story is emotional at times and there is a heavy theme of loss.
Though parts of the story are predictable I did enjoy reading about these characters.
Though I did have an emotional response this book could have been much sadder and I’m glad that the author didn’t take it all the way. As with so many romance books I rolled my eyes at things one of the main characters did. I was grateful the author didn’t prolong certain aspects.
I enjoyed the prologue and I wish that the author had spent some more time discussing how their story unfolded.
Overall, though this wasn’t what I was expecting I enjoyed the story and didn’t stop reading until it was done. If you are a fan of romance (no smut) and especially one that will tug at your heart strings you should give this one a try.
