I spent the weekend binging this book. It drew me in immediately and it was hard to put down.
Thirteen year old Ruthy Ramirez goes missing one day, leaving her family with nothing but questions.
More than a decade later, the Ramirez sisters discover Ruthy may be alive after all this time when they see her on a reality TV show.
Wow! What a debut. I was fully invested in what happened to Ruthy, and I love that it was told in the alternating perspectives of sisters Nina, Jessica, mother Dolores, and Ruthy herself. Each woman reeling in the wake of Ruthy's disappearance, and in her potential return.
I loved each of the Ramirez women. Each had a unique voice, but their family dynamic was so authentic. They spent most of their time bickering but the love and loyalty was palpable. I could read about these women just in their everyday lives forever.
