This was my first time reading Mindy Mejia and I love how she wrote this story.
Mia is a young woman who works at Cogdon Psychiatric Facility as a speech therapist. She has been there for about 7 years and in comes Lucas Blackthorn. He is known as the boy who returned from the dead. He went into the woods known as the Boundary Waters with his father ten years ago and no one had seen or heard from them since.

Without giving anything away, this book should have a suicide trigger warning. Considered giving it less stars for glorifying suicide.

19-23 year olds. Chemistry was a lot. Lots of action. Very protective mmc. Sad ending but still good. Would read again. A man who was isolated in the woods with his father and a language psychiatrist who is a little mentally ill herself.

Leave No Trace is an engrossing thriller about the legacies our parents leave on our psyche and navigating the world when you're mentally ill. Both the main characters are let down by their environments, too close to adequately give or receive the help they both need.

Only reason this got 2 stars instead of 1 is because the story pulled me in enough I felt like I had to find out what happened. So much of this was unrealistic. She’s 23 and somehow has completed grad school and everything? There’s so much wrong with her therapist being her boss, her developing a relationship with her patient etc. I found her insufferable.

This book started out amazing. I couldn't put it down and wanted to keep reading well past my bedtime. About 2/3 of the way through, some weird things started to come up with the characters and their backstory and some of their choices. I still enjoyed reading it, but found myself liking the main characters less as the book went on.

I thought this was a thriller but it was not.
