Title: All the
Missing Girls By: Megan Miranda
Publication Date: 6/28/2016
Summary: It’s been ten years since Nicolette Farrell left her rural hometown
after her best friend, Corinne, disappeared from Cooley Ridge without a trace.
Back again to tie up loose ends and care for her ailing father, Nic is soon
plunged into a shocking drama that reawakens Corinne’s case and breaks open old
wounds long since stitched.
The decade-old investigation focused on Nic, her brother Daniel,
boyfriend Tyler, and Corinne’s boyfriend Jackson. Since then, only Nic has left
Cooley Ridge. Daniel and his wife, Laura, are expecting a baby; Jackson works
at the town bar; and Tyler is dating Annaleise Carter, Nic’s younger neighbor
and the group’s alibi the night Corinne disappeared. Then, within days of Nic’s
return, Annaleise goes missing.
Told backwards—Day 15 to Day 1—from the time Annaleise goes missing,
Nic works to unravel the truth about her younger neighbor’s disappearance,
revealing shocking truths about her friends, her family, and what really
happened to Corinne that night ten years ago.- From www.amazon.com
Review:
Imagine a dark cloud looming over
you, intense, mysterious… This is how I felt during the whole book. I couldn’t
figure it out. Who was lying? Was everyone lying?
This book was perfectly written,
in reverse. It’s difficult to write a book (not that I would know), but to
write it day-by-day in reverse and to also have it make sense? It was very
unique and worked perfectly. Each day peeled back another layer. You almost
want to read it all over again, and by knowing how it ended, would make it even
that much more brilliant.
To top it off, I felt like I
could relate to Nic in regards to her leaving a small town, where it appears
when coming back that nothing (and everything) has changed.
I’m excited to see the success of
this book when it’s released. I can’t imagine it won’t be a hit.
