The little details in the first half of the book that might seem tedious as you’re first reading them become hugely important in the book’s second half. Part One is atmospheric, contemplative, and emotional Part Two is dark, raw, and shocking. This book is best discussed just as the author structures it: in two parts. This story is tragic, heart-wrenching, shocking, and gasp-out-loud good. I LET YOU GO follows a mother hiding out in a secluded cottage, attempting to heal from her son's untimely loss, and the two detectives tasked with finding the boy's killer. But the car doesn't stop-it drives off into the night, leaving the mother to watch her son die in her arms. On a dark evening, walking her son home from school, a mother's worst nightmare comes true: he slips from her grasp and runs into the road, where he is hit by a speeding car. I LET YOU GO by Clare Mackintosh tells the story of a mother reeling from the tragic death of her son.
