Holly Jackson has done it again! Another dark and twisty mystery filled with lots of secrets and skeletons.
If you have read and enjoyed A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, you will love joining Bel as she tries to navigate shooting a documentary about mother’s disappearance and everything it drags to the surface, grudges, family secrets and her no longer missing mother. This book takes us on a rollercoaster of all of the feels, so hold on tight.

I devoured this book, and am so so sooo thankful to @tbrbeyondtours and @hojay92 for the opportunity to get my hands on it early and be apart of this tour!

Bel has grown up under the shadow of the disappearance of Rachel Price, her mother. Left abandoned in a car on the side of a road with her mom missing ... she has always been the only witness to the case. But she was 2 years old! 16 years later, a producer comes knocking for an exclusive story on a tell-all about the famous unsolved disappearance case. Filming the show brings back uncomfortable memories, and Bel just wants everyone to leave so she can resume life with her dad.

But ... Rachel Price isn't dead. Or gone, apparently because she appears and suddenly everyone wants to know .... where has she been? Who took her? Or did she just leave? What's the truth - or more importantly, who is telling the truth?

So caveat, I kinda figured out who the villain is rather quickly, but the why and the how was 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. Did not see that coming! I finished the book in a day because I HAD TO KNOW!!!

Annabel Price (Bel) is tired of living in her mother’s shadow. Her face? Rachel Price. Her voice? Rachel Price? Who is she? The daughter of Rachel Price that vanished 16 years ago. Now, 18 year old Bel and the Price family are making a documentary on her disappearance… until she reappears. It’s in the title, and it’s in the synopsis, but it was still a shock to see Rachel Price back in the flesh.

I loved Bel’s character. She was a relatable and authentic character. With her mother back in her life, Bel was suspicious, and I enjoyed every one of Bel’s suspicions. It was nice seeing Bel’s thoughts and it really added to her character. I loved the banter between Bel and Ash. They were just so cute! I loved how Bel included Ash in trying to find out what happened to her mother despite what Rachel and everyone else says.

Holly truly does know how to throw in twists! I wasn’t expecting any of them, and when you thought the big finale was revealed, there’s more! Holly sure knew how to throw in some family drama too. I got to hand it to Rachel too. All I’m going to say about that 😉.

Thank you to netgalley, TBRBeyondTours, and the respected publishers for an eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

Wow! This booked completely sucked me in and didn't let me go. I had to know what happened to Rachel. I had to support Bel on her journey to question her mom. The side characters are interesting, but the mystery really kept me going.

There were a few parts at the end that frustrated me, but I have to give it five stars. It hooked me from start to finish.

HOLLY JACKSON HAS DONE IT AGAIN. AND BETTER.
i swear every time i read a new holly jackson book, it immediately takes over as my new favorite. i immediately texted a friend of mine who also loves holly and told her she had to drop everything and pick it up immediately.
the characters. the plot. the TWISTS AND TURNS. just when you thought the big twist happened, three more followed up so quickly.
even if you manage to guess some of the twists, you’ll be shocked again on the next page.

4.5/5⭐️

The author of the Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series is back with another YA thriller. When Bel was a baby, her mom disappeared without a trace. Now, sixteen years later, Bel and her family are filming a documentary about her mom’s disappearance. Things take a turn though when her mom suddenly reappears. There are inconsistencies in her story, and Bel is convinced she is lying. However, as she starts to investigate, she realizes that perhaps there is an answer closer to home.

Overall, I thought this was really good! It was fast-paced. My only knock was that Rachel was really unlikeable, but I think that also was perhaps Jackson’s intention so that like Bel, the reader doesn’t trust her. I was surprised too there wasn’t more mixed format like excerpts from the documentary like is in the Good Girl books. Still a great thriller with some good twists at the end!

I received my copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Holly Jackson's The Reappearance of Rachel Price is the story of Anabel (Bel) Price, who has had to cope with the disappearance of her mother for the past sixteen years. Bel is haunted by the fact that she was present at the disappearance, but has no memory of it since she was only two-years-old at the time. Bel's dad, Charlie, agrees to film a documentary about the disappearance of his wife, when suddenly, she reappears. Bel isn't sure who is lying to her, but she knows someone in her family knows more than they appear. This is the first book in the series and is an easy, enjoyable read.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I was thoroughly impressed! I will definitely be trying some others! I really had no idea what the outcome of this story was going to be and I typically just believed whatever the main character was believing at the time. Jackson left nothing unexplained and had absolutely ZERO plot holes! Very impressed and enjoyed this a lot!

Rachel Price went missing 16 years ago. The only witness was her young daughter, Bel, who has no memory of what happened. The case is brought back into the light when the family agrees to do a true crime documentary. Everything changes for the family when Rachel Price reappears after all this time.

As a fan of Holly Jackson’s, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Series, I found the story very easy to get into. The story kept the twists and turns coming and had you wondering almost the whole time of what really happened. The one drawback for me was at the beginning is I felt like there were too many characters introduced too fast. However, the characters were easy to like and I found myself rooting for several of them. Overall, I really enjoyed myself while reading this book.

This was an incredible thriller full of great twists. I had no idea who to trust until the end. Highly recommend for teens and adults alike!

“Everyone left, eventually…People were temporary.”

This book took me on a roller coaster of emotions—even if that is technically a cliché. I stayed up late, unable to put this book down, needing to know the truth. Needing to know what happened. Nearly as much as Bel did.

Bel’s mom disappeared sixteen years ago and then while they’re in the middle of filming a documentary about her disappearance, she mysterious Rachel Price magically reappears again. But even once everything is out on the table, Bel still feels as though secrets are being kept from her left and right.

An amateur detective story about the secrets some families keep, this book will grip you both in its suspenseful nature and in the heartstrings of a little girl who just doesn’t want to feel abandoned anymore.

Holly has a way of writing these stories where it doesn’t even matter how long they are, because you’ll fly through them in 24 hours anyway. If you haven’t picked up any of Holly Jackson’s books yet… do yourself a favor and start now.

“The people who loved you, the ones who really cared, they would always come back.”

Another great story from Holly Jackson. This book is longer (400+ pages) and while that usually means there is a lot of fluff, this book utilizes every small detail to pay off the plot. I really enjoyed the family dynamics and the changing of loyalty throughout the book. Great read.

To be completely honest, I haven't had a great track record of reading this author. But, the idea for this sounded really interesting to me. As this is a mystery/thriller, I won't give away too much because honestly the less you know the more enjoyable this will probably be for you. Essentially, the main character (Bel)'s mother mysteriously disappeared sixteen years ago, and Bel has been living in the shadow of her mother's disappearance ever since. Then, her life is all mucked up again when the Price family agrees to a documentary about Rachel's disappearance and suddenly Rachel reappears with an implausible story about where she's been. Etc. etc. etc.
I honestly didn't completely dislike this one, like I have some of Jackson's other novels, but I did find myself having a hard time focusing on this story because the plot just really wasn't grabbing me. I pushed through, though, and the ending was just...weird.
TLDR: This was too long, needed a bit better execution of the idea, and had a wacky ending.

I had previously loved Holly Jackson's first trilogy, so I was eager to start her latest. It started out great but the ending got a bit too wacky for my tastes.

The Reappearance of Rachel Price is Holly Jackson at her best! This is a 5 star read and one I recommend wholeheartedly. So many layers, nuanced and well fleshed out characters. I kept on flip-flopping on who did it and who's side I was on. Happy release week to this gem! Jackson just is magic when it comes to YA thriller/mysteries.

Thank you so so so so much to NetGalley, Random House, AND THE Holly Jackson for the ARC. I love y’all so much.

Publication Date: April 2nd, 2024 (ITS OUT. GO GET IT)

This was a 5 star 100%. It was a bit slow at the beginning but queen Holly Jackson made up for it.

The plot was everything. It was such A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder esque book with a documentary spin to it. I was on the edge of my seat and had to put the book down to really think about my own theories. (Which were kind of right)

The plot twists were everything I needed and more. My jaw was on the ground at one of the bigger ones.

Get this book right now. Read everything else Holly has to offer. I will be a Holly Jackson fan for the rest of my life.

Wow! What a wild journey! Those twists though are whiplash-worthy!
Rachel Price was last seen on security footage with her then-toddler Bel never to be seen again. Rachel's car was on the side of the road running with the heater on and Bel buckled in the back seat but no sign of Rachel. It's been sixteen years since the disappearance and Bel along with her family are working with a producer to do a documentary about the disappearance of Rachel Price. Bel is having a hard time with the documentary because there is always speculation about her father. Upset she takes off and on the way home she finds her, she finds Rachel. Thinking she is seeing a ghost she runs home without looking back, and soon there is a knock on the door, and it's Rachel. Rachel is back. Bel calls her dad and tells him to get home and when he does his face pales the police find out and they eventually make a press release about the reappearance. However, Bel is bothered by her mother she knows she's lying about something. There are inconsistencies in Rachel's story about where she was at those sixteen years and other things that are bothering Bel. Then, her father disappears and she starts investigating Rachel she knows something is not right. Once she has that thread she pulls it until family secrets start slowly coming out and once they do there is no turning back! Wow! This one had me hooked until the very end! It was soo good! Holly really outdid herself writing this one! I loved it! Thank you Netgalley and Random House Publishing for the extraordinaire opportunity to read and review this one! It was a wild treat!

I always been a fan of Holly Jackson books, so I was thrilled to read her newest book, The Reappearance of Rachel Price. I am sorry to say, but I couldn't finished this book. I read up to 50%, and I just wasn't vibe with it. The plot wasn't capturing my attention enough. I kept drifting away.

Holly Jackson never fails with her awesome and twisty mysteries. I loved this book, it was so fun and intriguing and as always with Holly’s books, I was still shocked by the ending after assuming I had known what was going on. The reason this isn’t five stars for me is because I thought the second half of the book felt much more rushed then the first and was also disappointed in the romance plot line which I thought could’ve been better executed. Overall though such a fun book and I will definitely recommend!
