I love how this book is separated into chapters in both the "girl's" perspective as well as Drew's. This book had me going through a range of emotions. Anxious, sad, heartbroken, hopeful.... It was really well written!
Drew, as the boyfriend of the missing girl, unfortunately has been the point of blame for the town and the sheriff. The girl with no memory is learning more about herself as experiences give her clues as to who she is before her "accident." The balance between their two perspectives really helps shape this story piece by piece!

Highschool angst and determination are the driving forces in the search for a missing girl. Written from the perspectives of the lead suspect as well as a lost girl with amnesia, the story develops at a pace that slowly builds in action and intensity. The mistakes of law enforcement are highlighted as well as the fickleness of public opinion.

Surprisingly dark and creepy for a YA novel.

The writing was decent, although the pace dragged a bit towards the middle. The characters weren't painfully immature like they sometimes are in YA fiction.

The ending was unexpected and I really appreciated that.

Even though the story ended on a sad note, I got a sense of closure and felt like healing for the characters would be possible with time.

Great, fast paced thriller. Had me on the edge of my seat and I did not want to put it down. Had me telling my friends to go and read it so I had someone to talk to about it.

Absolutely heartbreaking as well. Was crying for a long time towards the end as the twist caught me very off guard.

Drew was a great character. Reading about his emotional struggles while a town is turning on him and no one is listening was shattering. I just wanted to give him a big hug.
