HOLY COW!!!!

This book is about a young girl, Claudia, who is searching for her best friend, Monday, after not hearing from her in a long time. 

I did not expect to love this book as much as I do! Read this right now! 

It features an unreliable narrator with time jumps that might confuse you until the final chapter when it’s not confusing anymore! The plot twist was so not expected and made the way the book was formatted make so much sense.

This book had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t sleep after reading it. Definitely not for the light of heart and you should check the trigger warnings. I loved it so much, but I don’t know if I’ll be rereading it soon because it was not a light read in terms of content.

this book literally shifted the way i think of certain things. no matter how well you think you know someone you never truly know what goes on behind closed doors. and it shed light on the thousands of teen girls (especially black girls) who go missing are simply dismissed by the justice system. the way the pov was written was confusing at first but the plot twist at the end made it make sense.
