Missing Dead Girls by Sara Walters
4.0
Thanks to Sourcefire Books and Netgalley for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
Honestly? I had a great time with this. It was a good sapphic thriller, with two protagonists with dubious intentions and a lot of baggage, and it felt like.... a beautiful encapsulation of the void of summer when you're in high school. The way it both feels absolutely infinite and utterly hollow. And it fell well developed and executed!
My main gripe with this book is that as much as there were hints about who the lead is, in terms of her characterization, I didn't feel like it was as well developed as it could be? Like I wish that she had been more defined, especially since it was written in the first person, and I felt like other characters had a stronger sense than I did, while I just responded to the ghost of characterization.
Overall though, a good time!
