The Night Before

Laura has recently returned from New York City to her small hometown in Connecticut to stay with her sister after a bad breakup. Her sister encourages Laura to get back out there, so she agrees to go out with a man she has met through a dating website. As the date progresses, she notices things that lead her to believe this man is not who he seems, and trauma from her childhood resurfaces to complicate matters. The next morning, her sister discovers that Laura never came home from her date.

The Night Before is a fairly typical psychological thriller. It alternates between Laura's perspective from the night of her date and her sister's perspective the next day. The format and storyline pull you through the action, and there is a pretty good twist at the end. It's a fun, quick read for fans of this genre.
