wisecraic 's review for:
Throwaway Girls
by Andrea Contos
**I was provided an electronic ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for honest review.**
Andrea Contos' Throwaway Girls is a stunning mystery thriller surrounding one missing girl who everyone wants home, and the other missing girls who were forgotten. The reader follows Caroline, a queer teenager who is just trying to make it to her eighteenth birthday and graduation so that she can live her truth away from her stifling family. When her girlfriend leaves and her best friend, Madison, goes missing, Caroline knows finding Madison is up to her.
This novel kept dropping clues and twists and reveals. The pacing was beautifully done, and I was pleased with how the author developed the story being told. I would hate to accidentally give anything away, as I'm of the opinion that thrillers should mostly be gone into blind.
I was more impressed by this thriller than any other I have read in recent memory, and I look forward to future works from Contos.
