Good. It brings up some interest ethical points about video doorbells. There's a nice red herring about 60% of the way in.

The last quarter if this book saved it for me. Up until that point, I was struggling with the main character's density and the progress of the plot. I did like the back and forth between the then and now and the main kid character wasn't obnoxious (which was VERY nice).
Towards the end of the book, it really started to feel like it had settled in a genre (action/adventure), but it took a while to get there. I would not recommend it to someone looking for a thriller, but would for someone looking for a mystery.
I would try another book by this author.

1.5 stars. Audiobook — had to recheck from the library because I could not finish it in two weeks, even with heavy skimming and the audio sped up, because it was so bad.
The text was from 5 years ago — somehow a tower was down or something and a bunch of people got messages five years late. But good thing Ariel got that text because it convinced her that Drew was alive, even after she found out about the five year later thing. And she was right, he is alive. Of course.
Ariel and Buzz (buzz. As in Lightyear.) follow a truck for miles down a curving road. On foot. After overhearing a guy at the hardware store ask an employee to drive some lumber to Buzz on Pine Road. Drew doesn’t even know about Buzz. He doesn’t know Buzz exists. He just happens to use the same name? And when she shows up at his cabin he is like whoa what are you doing here but that’s about it. After five years.
Woody and Drew/older Buzz take turns watching surveillance video of the cabin 24/7. Have they done that for 5 years?
Spoiler: Ariel’s uncle Ray was the bad guy. Not her dad.
Ray put a fake obit about Drew in the paper so Ariel would think he was dead and as a threat to Drew. Drew, who is really Jay.
Ray was illegally giving police access to the Ring-like Chime Co. videos and also some other techy espionage stuff that’s boring and something about judges. One video was used to blackmail a young girl who used to live in the same foster home as Drew. Drew got a job at Ariel’s dad’s surveillance video company to ruin the company.
Ariel, Buzz, Woody — so much Disney. So dumb.
Drew/Jay’s narrator was SO BAD. He sounds like a cheesy radio DJ.
Who were the four comments on her insta from? The last one said “scary lady/sister person looking for you.”
Also, has the author ever met a four year old?
