Thank you to Kensington Books and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I fell in love with Clayborn’s writing when I read Georgie, All Along last year. Needless to say, I was thrilled to receive an ARC of The Other Side of Disappearing! It did not disappoint. I love how she depicts emotions and scenarios that make you truly feel like you are there, in the present, with these characters.
I really loved this book. Jess is the primary guardian for her sister after their mother abandoned them 10 years ago. I appreciate sister/sibling relationships when they are written well, and I love how Jess and Teagan’s relationship was displayed. As an eldest sister like Jess, it felt SO real with how she responded and moved through her life. I was so invested in their story and how/if they would find their mom.
Jess and Adam were great MCs, and I truly enjoyed their POVs so much. I love how well they see one another. They’re both so observant and truly understand how to interact with each other where the other feels comfortable. Watching their relationship grow during the book, especially on the farm, was so sweet. And the epilogue! So so sweet.
