Really loved this mystery book. 4/5 ⭐️

A girl is found in a car accident with no ID and no memory. Fast forward 15 years she still is suffering from amnesia when suddenly she disappears. Her best friend is trying to look for her as she’s looking, clues keep popping up about the girl’s forgotten past. Told in a couple different POV’s. 

4 stars bc it felt like the POVs and scenes would jump randomly. Plus I was trynna be a smart girl and figure it and I kinda did but still a great read nonethelsss
