Amelia is a well-known travel blogger who goes to Rome with her boyfriend, Josh, but only Josh comes home. He tells police they had a fight, and Amelia walked away but hasn't seen her since.
Harper finds some really important information on Josh and Amelia, but how can she help if she didn't get it legally?
A new adult mystery thriller that is told from multiple POV through blogs, social media posts, and flashbacks, and is a book that you won't be able to put down until the end.

Gone Girl for Gen Z! A fun and fast-paced YA mystery. The characters are never very fleshed out, but the overall conceit is pretty strong and makes for an enjoyable read.
(So annoyed that the book jacket kind of spoils the reveal, though! Mignon isn't introduced until over halfway through the book, so why would they even mention "another girl went missing" on the book jacket?? )

It wasn't good. It wasn't bad. I guess it just was. For being a mystery crime style novel, it didn't really feel very mysterious.
The storyline is on the sad side, but I feel like the characters never made a connection to the reader, so you of course feel bad for the characters, but not enough to really mean anything.
Crying score: Wasn't compeling enough to cry.
