Unsettling story. I wanted to like it based on the description but was not able to get past the first few chapters as it was too unsettling for me personally to continue. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy.

Thank you #Netgalley for this advanced copy!

As I read in the reviews, this book you will not want to put down. It found true for me as well, I finished within 24hrs of starting! In a small protective town, we follow three mothers, though they may not be best of friends, their children are. One evening when a child does not come home at her expected time, her parents Aleema and Noah retrace footsteps and are unable to locate their daughter. They of course go to her two best friends, Liam and Joe, who are also unaware of where she may be. A search party immediately commences and we follow the perspective of Naomi, Aleema and Kelly. Of course, each mother has their owns secrets they want to keep private, but they slowly begin to unravel. Kelly in particular worries for her and her son, who we quickly learn are in witness protection due to their family trauma years prior. When this news makes its way into Naomi's hands, the secrets begin to spill out quickly, causing additional turmoil. So many twists and turns keeping you guessing until the very end! Highly recommend!

Thank you Netgalley and Harper 360 for this ARC of Little Rumours.

While this wasn't a mind-blowing story, I did enjoy this book and it's many unconventional characters. It's a good mystery about families in a small neighborhood where a child goes missing. It details their lives and heartbreak in such an emotional way that while you may not like all of them, you still feel for them. I have read so many books about missing children that I can say that this one comes closest to showing just how heartbreaking it is for parents to hear that their child is missing and the emotion that happens throughout. This was a good, emotional read with plenty of mystery and whodunnit.

When I read someons review that said basically to not have plans because you will not want to put this book down I kind of chuckled like ... sure ok... I should have listened to them. The ride home from my daughter's ballet class was abolute torture. However, reading while I was driving is highly frowned upon. so I endured.

This book, told in multiple point of views, is completely captivating. I was drawn in immediately. The way the author gives you a little of the picture at a time in a sort of flashback kind of way, keeps you fully invested needing to know what happens. I have three girls, so the thought of one going missing literally makes my legs go weak. I can't even imagine the pain, and worry. So when Aleema and Noah's chapters were up my heart just broke for them. The chapters where they are just having to sit tight and wait are excruciating. Kelly's chapters were hard because I had no idea what to think. About 80% of the way in is when I had the gist of what was going on figured out, but there were sitll a few twists that I did not really see coming. These characters are relatable. They are well developed and very different.. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, and I have never rushed to finish a book as quickly as I did this one.

So again I will echo the other reviewers advice. Do not start until you are certain you have time to finish.
