thing that were never answered for : from Holly from goodreads
How was Annaleise their alibi when she ran away from the fair when Corinne was still alive?
How did Daniel get Annaleise's key? Was he having an affair with her?
Was Daniel dating Corinne?
Why did Daniel feel the need to punch Nic at the fair - kind of an overreaction based on her just being stupid.
How did Nic and Daniel's father go from being a drunk parked by the caves, to sober enough to grab a body and hide it?
Was it Annaleise who was breaking into their childhood home or was Nic imagining that the whole time?
How could Laura, who was never was involved in the whole Corinne affair, then go straight to murder to try to cover up something that she was just told about on the phone and didn't even know for sure if it was true?

I listened to the audiobook. This is a unique storyline as it is told backwards from day 15 to day 1. I found this made it really hard to follow the storyline and I know if I read the physical copy of the book, I would be flipping back a million times to reread parts. The title is a little misleading as it’s only 2 missing girls so “All” seems like a stretch. Lots of twists and turns and overall liked the plot but the execution just made it ok/good and not great for me.

This book was super twisty and intriguing - and quite hard to put down. I had to concentrate on it, though, because like the movie Memento, it was told reverse.

After the opening scene, it starts to go backwards, through two weeks, to the beginning. It was fascinating watching the story peel itself back that way, watching the characters become more and more layered.

Nic Farrell returns to her little hometown to deal with her ailing father and their old house. There's a lot of history here, most especially between Nic and her brother, and their friends - including Corinne, Nic's best friend who went missing a decade prior. Suddenly there's another girl in town that's gone missing, and the similarities between the two disappearances are enough to set Nic on a little investigation of her own.

Don't want to spoil this too much; suffice to say this is a great read. Tight plotting, clean delivery, and an original (if not completely unique...rare enough) method of storytelling, AtMG was a winner.

Thanks Netgalley, for the book!

Ik ben nog steeds in de war... Ligt het aan mij of zijn er nogal wat plot holes?
