Fourth Megan Miranda book in a week, and here's the current standings:
1. The Only Survivors (2023)
2. All the Missing Girls (2016)
3. The Last to Vanish (2022)
4. Such a Quiet Place (2021)
This one was *so close* to being really great for me, but the characters is where it went askew. I'm not against an unlikeable character - but if they're ALL unlikeable and it's all in SUCH BLAND WAYS, it's hard to stay super invested. Had I cared more for them (either loving them or hating them), I think the reveal (which was good!) would have hit harder and this one would have made more of an impact - but alas, it kind of ended up being a "welp, sucks to be you ... yes, all of you" kind of thing.
On the plus side, I couldn't put it down waiting to see what would happen, and I was genuinely surprised a number of times over small reveals throughout, so there's that.
