This book is fiction that reads like true crime. It’s about a disappearance it starts with a fight and ends with the summer of questions. I highly recommend this book

A mother, at her wits end, with four bickering children in the car decides she's had it. She demands that Ellen gets out of the car to walk the next 5 miles home. Ellen is only twelve years old.

What none of this family knows as they drive off leaving a twelve-year-old girl on the side of the road five miles from home with darkness closing in, is what will happen next.

Doesn't that sound intriguing? I was all in wondering what happens to this poor girl.

Libby, the older sister that narrates the story has a voice that just never resonated with me.

I'll be honest and say that this isn't the book that I thought it was going to be and it's my fault. I thought this was going to be a thriller or suspense novel of sorts and it is not that. This is most definitely a slow burn coming of age novel and there is nothing wrong with that but it just wasn't what I was in the mood for at the moment. Again, my fault. 3 stars!
