A review by mstlily
The Monsters We Make by Kali White

5.0

I haven’t really dug into this story to read which real crimes this fictional story is based upon; but, it sounds like the story of Johnny Gosch. If you haven’t seen the Netflix documentary, “Who took Johnny?,” I highly recommend it. I’m not sure what I would think about this book if I didn’t know about Johnny’s case. But since I do know about it, this fictional tale drives home some real issues and if you want to know more about missing paper boys and why the mother was so adamant you never know who lives next door, read about Johnny.


As for the book, it was never dull. It mostly comes from the point of view of a teen girl and at first I thought I might not be reading a book for an adult.
But, it is definitely for adults.

Anyway. I liked it.
That’s my 2 cents.
