All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda
4.0
I read this book on NetGalley and really enjoyed this book! It is a twist on a standard mystery - it is told from day 15 to day 1. This book could have been a total shitshow, but Miranda pulled it off well. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to share information backwards in a mystery, and still make the story cohesive. She did a great job.
I was vey into the book by about the halfway point. I may have been bored with another style of book, but since it's a mystery, I was just dying for more information.
I spent most of the book guessing who the villain was - my guess was constantly changing, which is a cool part of a mystery. I also really liked that the final answer made sense, and was acceptable in regard to the entire story.
I didn't connect with the main character very much, but I'm not sure that I was supposed to. She's not very likable, but I think that's okay.
A lot of the book focuses on looking at broken girls. I connected with this aspect of the book, and it reminded me of the parts I liked of Emma Cline's The Girls. The narrator's reflections reminded me of myself (mainly when I was younger) and friends I had (when I was younger).
I would like to give a bit of a trigger warning with abusive men. The main character just kind of sees it as a part of life, and I wish that she would have expected better for herself and those around her.
I'm happy with how everything wrapped up in the end and I hope y'all enjoy the book!
