Book:
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL by Nita Tyndall (Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins for the ebook-- May 21)
Review:
4.6⭐
I read HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL in under a day. The book itself was full of mystery, and murder, and I found myself guessing along with the character. (Spoiler alert: There were some times when I thought maybe it was Sid or their dad.)
I liked the idea around the book, and how Sid was trying to solve everything before they themselves would fall victim. I thought the mystery was refreshing, and the dual timeline was a must-have.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL was a thrilling mystery. There were twists and turns that I didn't seen coming, and I never would have guessed that the killer was the person who was the killer.
What I Liked About It:
*the twists
*the ending

A lean, propulsive serial killer story with a nonbinary protagonist and a paranormal twist. Sid's exploration of their gender identity is expertly woven through an examination of societal expectations of girlhood. Absolutely loved the messy, complicated social dynamics of having a serial killer for a dad, and I was so down for a romantic interest that knew exactly what she wanted and didn't waffle around. I wish that the paranormal aspects of the plot were a little better developed. As it is, the ghosts are extremely creepy, but they unfortunately don't do much more than be scary.
