This book reads a little like a teen crime thriller straight to TV drama and that could be a good or bad thing depending on your preference. I enjoyed it! The twist was predictable and I might not even call it a twist but I was invested. I could have done without the epilogue personally, it felt a little too dramatic and soap opera-y to me.

Uf, estuve muchas horas leyendo sin poder parar. Quería saber qué había pasado y por qué. El plot twist estuvo bueno pero tampoco taaaan bueno, no me dejó así: 😲
Se lo recomendaría a alguien que está en un bloqueo lector, porque te atrapa desde la primera página

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!
