What if you were forced to challenge everything you knew, including the people you cared for the most? How far would you push to learn the truth?

After her mother’s commercial plane and 155 people disappear near Puerto Rico, Violet finds herself in the media spotlight questioning who her mother really is. Violet is determined to find her missing mother and prove to the world and her family that her mom is alive, so she does a little detective work of her own.

I recommend planning your day around this book. Once I began reading The Gravity of Missing Things by Marisa Urgo, I only stopped reading for food, and I completely neglected all my responsibilities. This YA Mystery Thriller is so good and so deep that my eyes struggled to lift from the page! The Gravity of Missing Things is bound to have you questioning the truth as too.

Side Note: If you are looking for a rom com, this is not the book for you. This book will take you on emotional rollercoaster ride in search of the truth. This coming-of-age story focuses on the love and loss of family and friends. The eleventh-grade play is difficult enough for Violet without the media and FBI.

Thank you so much to Entangled Teen and Netgalley for the gifted copy and for the amazing opportunity to read and review The Gravity of Missing Things.
