When 17-year-old Maddy Pruitt vanishes from her sleepy town, word on the street is that she ran away. The daughter of an abusive alcoholic with a quick temper, she had every reason to leave in search of something better, and everyone who knew Maddy knew the type of company she kept wasn't always ideal.

But when a second 17-year-old girl from a local, affluent family turns up missing shortly after Maddy's disappearance, the circumstances become suspicious. Even though the girls are perfect strangers from opposite sides of town, attended separate schools, and traveled in different social circles, it turns out they have more in common than anyone could have imagined.

With the clock ticking, those closest to the girls lead a frantic search, uncovering secrets, lies, and a web of deceit that might have the girls paying an ultimate price...if they don't find them in time.

Contains mature themes.

This is a plus catalogue gem. The story was good other than the lack of research or storyline behind the police work done with the crimes. I was able to easily overlook the fact that that part kind of made no sense bc I enjoyed the book though!

Great listen

Definitely worth a listen. There are a few stories running at the same time until the penny drops and you realize the connection. Quite sad as these women’s lives are a reality for some. The ending was not what I expected. Will be looking out for more books by the author

Unpredictable!

I liked the overall story but it made no sense how they tied it up. The mother in this story, given the circumstances, would not have acted or ignored what took place after the disappearance.

Good story weird ending.

I finished listening to the book, but there were multiple times I nearly stopped. I couldn’t manage to like the characters enough to care what happened to them. The twists at the end were too deus ex machina for me and I kept going back thinking I missed something. The narrators were good. The subject matter is important, but it just wasn’t for me.

Pretty good thriller. I felt like I was watching a movie in my head with all the descriptive details.
I almost stopped due to some triggering topics( violence, r**e, etc), but I pushed through, hoping for an ending that made up for it. Although it felt a little rushed towards the end, it was pretty well tied together; I would have loved more details and back story into each character to pull me in further.
I really appreciated the point of view of the narration, although one of the narrators was a bit off-putting for me. She did, however, convey the character well through her narration. I would recommend this book for sure, as it actually makes you think a lot about what you might do if it was you.... thumbs up

Unexpected twists and turns!
