“This book kept me guessing. I really appreciated all the different characters perspectives and switching years from the current missing child to the previous one.”

“Definitely one of my favorites from last summer. Couldn’t put it down! Can’t wait to see it as a tv series (I think)”

“yes, it’s long, but it’s impossible to read without having something to say. bonus - it’s multiple POVs so you can discuss whose resonated with you most etc.”
