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 !!

“This is the story of how my best friend disappeared. How nobody noticed she was gone except me.”

📕This book gave me the chills. It was such a good read. I definitely recommend it. It shows just how easily kids go missing; how they can fall through the institutional cracks. 💔How can someone go missing and no one even notice? The plot twist at the end I didn’t see coming — I was shook! 😱

❤️ Claudia, aka Sweet Pea, returns home from spending the summer with her grandmother and her best friend (and only friend) Monday doesn’t show up to school. Her phone is disconnected. Days go by with no sign. Monday’s family says she staying with an aunt, then her dad — why would her best friend leave without saying goodbye? No one believes Claudia when she says something is wrong. And it’s up to Claudia to solve this mystery…
