My oh my! What another amazing read from Holly Jackson. I started off reading it very slowly but once over half way I just couldn’t put it down and just wanted to read to the end to see what had really happened to Jamie and who was behind the identity of Layla Mead. Not only this but it’s revealed that one of the characters has a very nasty past and is living with a new identity which the person behind Layla Mead knew about and was trying to work out which of the Little Kilton residents “Child Brunswick” was as they seek out revenge for everything they did with their father in the past, however their name being “Child” due to being a minor. 
We follow Pip and Connor on a journey as they try to work out what has happened to Connor’s brother, Jamie, as Pip reopens her blog for this case as they document everything they discover about Jamie and the moments leading up to his disappearance. Honestly loved this book and would read again if given the opportunity!

♡ Missing Person
♡ True-Crime Podcast
♡ Amateur Detective Work

Again, much like the last book I loved the extra details in the formatting.  The little details like that are really lovely.

This book started out a bit cliché, I mean asking a teenager to help find your missing (possibly dead) brother seems totally full proof.  However, I did get invested after a while and the plot really went in a different direction than I was expecting.  The “who did it” was a bit random but it was entertaining to read about the journey.  

Pip having a true-crime podcast totally fits her vibe.  If she doesn’t become a detective after this I’m going to scream because she’s doing the whole police departments job at this point.

Spice Level: n/a
POV: First Person
Release Date: 02, March 2021
Rep: BIPOC (Main and Side Characters), LGBTQIA+ (Side Character)
