dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

4.5

The start was slow for me but wow, once it started I finished in a day. The timeline jumps were my biggest complaint. I would’ve absolutely LOVED to read more of Monday’s journal entries. The few at the end had me in tears. I think it would’ve been lovely to hear more of her side. Really enjoyed this book. 

*LOTS OF TRIGGER WARNINGS TO CHECK BEFORE READING IF NECESSARY.*

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.
