“But to miss something g also means to fail to teach it. A failure to catch. A failure to understand.”
Blair and Cam are two friends who take on the task of creating a true crime podcast around the biggest mystery in their small town-the disappearance of Clarissa Campbell. This story is incredibly chaotic in a very entertaining way.
The mystery of what happened to Clarissa is something I figured out very early on in the story but I kept reading to learn if I was right. Naturally, as mysteries do there will be paths that try to deter you from the journey but I trusted my gut with this one.
The characters are strangely lovable to me and they are young. Teenagers. So, they are also annoying and naive and sometimes self involved. This story was framed well and I genuinely enjoyed reading it. The climax happened very quick though and the ending of how everything played out was…..fast? Unmemorable? It was something but it’s not the good kind of something.
Up til that point though? It was a good story to read.
