Wow. This was such a good book! This thriller is about lies, small towns, and the secrets we keep. I couldn’t put the book down. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and didn’t see the twist coming! Highly recommend!

so, so good. loved the characters and the atmosphere. loses one star just because i had a hard time keeping track of things with the story being told backwards, but that’s probably my fault lol. hoping to give it another read some time.

- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I could not put All The Missing Girls down. I read it as quickly as possible, and found myself staying away at night, saying to myself, "just one more chapter..." which quickly turned into five more chapters.
All The Missing Girls is what a true suspense / thriller / mystery novel should be. It keeps you guessing, keeps you up at night wanting more and finally, it has an ending that you won't see coming. I could not have predicted the ending of this book if I tried (and trust me, I tried).
Highly recommend to those who love a good thriller!

is it possible to give a book zero stars? bcs that is what i thought this deserves. no bcs no aspect of the book was even half decent. from unreliable narrators (ones which know suck cous we know they are unreliable but the author thinks the reader is a moron) to the gimmicky story telling style.
telling the story from day 15 to day 1 definitely works (we have all seen it and enjoyed in the secret history) but not like this. the main character intentionally acts dumb on day 15 even though they have 'discovered' the secret by then obviously just to keep us readers in the dark. if the reveal was made in the first chapter (day 15) and then we figure out the exact details throughout the book I would still enjoy it more than this monstrosity.
and who tf thought this was anything gone girl-esque, come out here i just wanna talk!!
oh and the plot twist- i had figured it out in first 3 chapters and then it was just annoying seeing the main characters (killer/s) act so annoying.
overall this book was better left unread on my shelf but hey sometimes we all end up wasting our time on things we thought we would love but didn't. (hate that my fav booktuber's recommendation didn't work for me tho :/

I had a rough time with this one. Although I was interested enough to know what happened to "all the missing girls," (it was just 2 girls) I disliked the reverse chronological order the book was written in.
I didn't find the main character likable although I did relate a little to her having a best friend who was always manipulative.
In the end, it was okay. While I was annoyed with most of the book I did get some enjoyment out of it.
