I Killed Zoe Spanos by Kit Frick
4.0

Wow. If you are looking for a YA thriller that appeals to teens and adults this summer, look no further. Anna Cicconi is a recent HS graduate of Bay Ridge in Brooklyn and has taken a summer job of being a nanny to a 7 -8 year old girl Paisley who lives in a tony village in the Hamptons with her well to do hard working parents. Anna has quit drinking because of blackouts. As people mistake her for a missing girl, Zoe Spanos, she starts to have memories of Zoe she should not have. For some reason, listening to a podcast by a local teenager Martina, Anna thinks she is responsible for Zoe's death. She confesses which puts a kabosh in her college plans.

There are several potential suspects in Zoe's disappearance. I was definitely surprised by the reveal. A lot makes sense at the end, although it was slightly anticlimactic. Anna's resemblance to Zoe, I figured out somewhere into the book. This book hovers somewhere between 4.0 and 4.3 out of 5. It definitely made me crave ice cream, the beach and lemon spritzes.
