What I Did Like:
+Sofie and Cam. Together or separately these two are adorable. I especially love that they’re written in such a way to help you understand and almost relive that high school crush flutter. 
+Well done red herrings. That’s all I’ll say, no spoilers.
+The last podcast was great! In fact, the whole idea of giving you podcast episodes as the book went on worked to support the story.

Who Should Read This One:
-Readers who like the idea of a cold case true crime podcast digging into a case and helping! This was a fun one. It is YA though, keep that in mind.

My Rating: 4 Stars

It is absolutely worth listening to the audiobook of Missing Clarissa—that’s what elevates it to more than your average YA thriller. The voice actor is absolutely incredible and does an amazing job bringing each character to life and injecting an otherwise dark story with levity.
