Nearly Gone by Elle Cosimano
5.0

You know those books where you're staying up way past your bedtime to get just one more chapter (or three or four) in? This is one of those books. As a thriller, it was exactly what I enjoy: consistently well-paced, not gratuitous, plenty of red herrings and potential suspects, and a sense of imminent danger. The MC, Nearly, is painfully real. She makes mistakes, she jumps to conclusions, she lacks faith in herself...but she's also very smart, very focused, and very stubborn. I really liked her, even when I was yelling at the pages because she was being....well, a teenager. I'm glad I have the sequel, which I'll be diving into next, because I can't wait to see what other shenanigans she gets up to.
