Genre: fiction, standalone, mystery, suspense, missing person, paranormal

RATING: 2 STARS

I was expecting book to be a bit like Room or Then She Was Gone but it turned out to be quite different. The book starts out great – a young boy is ready to confess his feelings to a girl when he is kidnapped. The young girl feels like it is her fault and starts to change and rebel. When the young boy escapes and returns home that is when the story really starts, but at the same time it is where it starts to lose me. By the end of the audiobook I was just happy it ended. I will say that I enjoyed Kepnes writing and found her ideas interesting. I am really looking forward to reading her novel, You, as I have heard great reviews. This book seems to have very mixed reviews. I would normally say give it 50 pages but those are the best parts that sucks you in…I would say pass on this unless you are a big fan of Kepnes and want to read all of her books.
