The Missing Sister by Elle Marr

4.0

I enjoyed this book, it hooked me from the start and I didn't want to stop reading. As a mixed race person myself, I was thrilled to realize that this book was about a mixed woman, written by a mixed woman. I haven't read too many books like these and I hadn't realized this was one until it was mentioned a few chapters in. I thought the twists and turns were great, not very predictable, and I really liked how they made sense. I could go back and say, oh, that's why she chose to ___. The only thing I didn't love 100% of the time was the descriptions and dialogue (particularly the emails). I found them to be strange/unrealistic at times. And Shayna comes off as "I'm not like other girls" sometimes which I never enjoy. Overall a good read and a great debut novel.
