The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson
5.0
Thank you Penguin Teen for an advanced copy to read and review!
This was incredible I love Holly Jackson books so much. Her writing is so captivating and always has me hooked. When Bel's mom who disappeared 16 years ago suddenly shows up in the middle of filming a documentary about her disappearance Bel doesn't quite believe her story, and is determined to find the truth.
One thing I love about Holly Jackson's books is that her characters are always so complex. She does a really good job of showing how everything that happens effects her characters and their relationships. Her characters always feel very authentic because of Hollys attention to detail - she never glosses over things that could have huge impacts including always taking time to dive into their trauma.
I was constantly gasping throughout the second half of this book and the last 20% had me on such a rollercoaster I felt nauseous. I can’t even lie I read the ending while I was on campus and I kept (unsuccessfully) having to stop myself of reacting out loud LOL (I’m seeing Holly at her Toronto tour stop in April and I will be asking her for an apology. But I'll also be thanking her)
There was nothing I didn’t like about this book I absolutely cannot wait to get a physical copy when it comes out!!!
