Sandown Bay is a tiny village holiday resort in the US, but to Mona Perry, it is a mystery. Thirty four years ago, singer Roxy Raines went missing and was never found and Mona is convinced something else is going on.
Determined to find out the secrets of this community, she soon realises nothing is as it seems.

This book was fast paced, has an intruiging mystery and a twist ending.

the writing was so descriptive and so perfectly reflecting emotions, I genuinely felt I was there next to Mona during everything she did, I felt the same things as her as I read. I genuinely think the book is amazing, it's a pretty medium fast build up to the actual main plot and then some but towards the end of the book everything was tense and just breath-holding ykwim? anyways, if you like mysteries, and summers and a good detective who also has a lot of trauma ooh and found family, def recommend this, it was good :)

i usually hate YA but brown’s writing grips me everytime and saves it all. i didn’t even care about the illogical aspect of it all, i just kept craving her immersing prose and incredibly acute observations about trauma and pain and how unbelievably annoying (& stupid & mean & scared of absolutely everything & nothing at the same time) it can make you. the mystery of it all was gripping and there were just enough clues to lead the reader on without handing them the whole truth at once
