i did enjoy the pacing of this but i didn't really love bel or rachel that much and it took me out of the story. io also felt the end had too many twists and because some were predictable and a bit cliche it took the believability out of it. i also felt the switch between Bel and another characters relationship was too fast and also made me believe it less. a good book but not my fav from Holly Jackson, would still recommend to others though!

This should have been a DNF since I tend to abandon books that are going to be less than 3 stars for me, but I wanted to see the mystery resolved. Definitely not worth it. It was painfully slow with no particularly likeable characters. The ending tied up several different story lines each of which was more preposterous than the next.

oh noooo i never reviewed this. holly jackson is a fave author and i was highly anticipating this book. it definitely lived up to the hype. i was captivated by the mystery and devoured this book so quickly so i didn't even have time to guess any of the twists and turns. some may be predictable, but i enjoyed the ride thoroughly.

📚 In August our bookclub dives into thrillers, and The Reappearance of Rachel Price was my perfect pick.

5/5 ⭐

Holly Jackson proves once again why she’s one of my go-to thriller authors. This book had everything I look for in the genre: clever plotting, twists that genuinely surprised me, and an atmosphere that kept me on edge throughout.

The characters were layered and flawed in a way that made the story feel all the more real. I especially appreciated how every reveal shifted my perspective, making me doubt who I could trust. The pacing was excellent, never dragging, and always pushing me to keep turning the pages.

While I still hold A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder closest to my heart, this was another addictive read that perfectly matched our August theme.
