halfcactus's review against another edition
dark
2.5
Grooming and sexual harassment/assault framed in a missing persons case and told in the PoV of teenage girls who have daddy issues and are navigating school and sexual experiences. It' more interested in the psychology and the emotions than the crime and mystery, except the psychology and feelings aren't very interesting and the final twist is quite standard. The prose is attractive and the scenes of girlhood would be nice in a coming-of-age novel.

Wow.
Definitely dark, and borders on disturbing and troubling... Yet, I couldn't put it down.
I saw a review that said, "the thing I fear most, is being a teenage girl in a Megan Abbott novel..."
