Woah. That was devastating.
My heart truly goes out to both Claudia and Monday and all the suffering they had to endure.
This is such a powerful book but the timeline got a bit confusing for me, besides thats it was a great book!

also i just wanted to point it was kinda weird when Micheal kissed Claudia knowing she was drunk but he wasn't…

I didn’t take the reviews seriously enough when they called this book heartbreaking. 
It felt like my soul was being crunched up like gravel as the ending drew closer.

This was such a frustrating read. And it’s done on purpose to make you feel frustrated and helpless because it’s just so enraging that no one seems to care that this child has just vanished. 

The way the story is told by changing between past and present was a nice touch, made more so once the big reveal happened.

This book should be marketed as a horror/thriller.

Some books are meant to haunt you. Tiffany D Jackson is one of the writers who accomplishes that every time I read her books. Even when you think you know what’s going on, she always throw’s something in I never expected. This was an incredibly dark story told through the innocent eyes of a young girl who will stop at nothing to find her missing best friend - even if no one else believes she’s missing. Not for the faint of heart, I recommend checking trigger warnings before reading this one.

SO GOOD I definitely recommend rereading because the time jumps can be very confusing until you reach the end and know the context. The ending really hits you so be prepared !!
