There were some interesting turns at the very end of this book, but the vast majority of it read like a young adult book with lots of uninteresting drama. As far as the audiobook narrator goes, I won't be listening again! Probably worth a read in hard copy or e-book.

4 stars for original structure. The time goes backward in this story, which can require a bit of extra concentration, but I thought the author did it really well. Nicolette Farrell is heading home to help out with her dad, who has dementia. She hasn't been home much since the disappearance of her best friend Corinne went missing 10 years ago. A few days into her current visit, another girl disappears. Is it connected to Corinne's case or not? How do all the people in town handle it? Suspenseful read with more than one good twist.

Pretty solid thriller!
I will say, the writing style will not be for everyone. It can be slightly confusing and have to refer back to what you previously had read quite a bit. Personally, although slightly confusing, I did enjoy it. Even reading it backwards, you still had moments of shock and it added to the story nicely.
I really liked the main character. You come to find Nic is a flawed character and not all meets the eye with her. She always kept you guessing on her motives and if she had more secrets than she led on.
Overall, I just had a lot of fun with this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It read very fast and the time transitions her very smooth. I wasn't left guessing or with questions at the end. Very fun!

I had a hard time understanding the time line of this story as it is pretty much told backwards. I was tempted to read this book from the back so it would go in chronological order. However this made me want to finish this book all the more, because every chapter made zero sense.
All the missing girls just include two girls. Most of these characters seem shallow and very little character development.
Good ending though. Not expecting the final plot twist.

wasn’t a fan of the structure of the book. it’s told backwards starting from day 15 of the girl being missing, and it was just disorienting. like reading a chapter and being given information, and then the next chapter was the day before so none of the stuff you just read had happened yet. idk it was just a weird experience. i also didn’t really like the main character.
