How to Find a Missing Girl
by Victoria Wlosok
2 ★ how to find a missing girl is lacking in every way. the first half of this book is such a chore to read, hence why it took me twelve days to read a 350-page book. i was expecting so much more. besides the lgbt representation, this plot is no different from every other ya mystery. the one thing you don’t want in a mystery is for it to be predictable and full of cliches, but unfortunately, this book is exactly that.
this book is heavily inspired by aggtm, and it got to the point where it felt like some parts were taken directly out of aggtm. it’s one thing to be inspired by a book, but this was a complete ripoff. imagine if aggtm was a lot more dumber & rife with gen z slang, and you would get how to find a missing girl. the characters talk like they’re straight out of a tiktok comment section and some of the references will be dated in years to come.
lastly, the whole podcast/interview element is so pointless. the interviews & podcast in aggtm worked because they added to the plot, they made you speculate and get more immersed in the mystery - the podcast & interviews here added absolutely nothing.
overall, i fully expected to love this book so i’m so disappointed to rate this two stars. if you don’t read a lot of mysteries, maybe you’ll like this book more than i did.
