View AllFor Full review: printedvintage.home.blog/2019/09/12/the-lost-man-jane-harper/I read this at the end of March and for the most part I did enjoy it. However, there were two things I didn't like. One was the death of Nathan's dog (I'm sorry if you think this counts as a spoiler). The other thing I didn't like about this book was the ending. Nathan spent the whole book finding himself, making amends, and learning to do the right thing the first time and then he turns around and ignores all of it. I mostly liked this. I hate Bub. But I mostly liked the book as a whole, until the ending, which severely let me down. It felt like "happily ever after" is the only option the author believed open to her and it felt flat. It was fake. It could have been better. The beginning had such promise.
