⤏15 YEAR OLD GIRL GOES MISSING ⤏4 YEARS LATER SHE IS FOUND ⤏EVERYONE THINKS SHE IS SARAH...BUT IS SHE REALLY ⤏WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THE DAY SARAH WENT MISSING???

MY THOUGHTS⇣

Told in alternating POV's between Nico and Sarah...Nico in the now and Sarah in the past leading up to the now. The narration, by both Erin Spencer and Arielle Delisle, was a win-win and performed swimmingly by both narrators.

A different take on the missing/kidnapped formula that may have taken the easy way, but may have also done it to keep everything a PG rating and suitable for younger readers. I sort of saw the way it was going but I also think it was done intentionally that way. It isn't a story told for the purpose of blowing your mind with the unforeseen twist. It's more a story of perseverance or the tenacity of the living to keep on doing so, and maybe make their world a place that they can live in. It was maybe done a little too subtly; for everyone else to see...or, maybe I'm giving it more credit than it deserves.
