I have so many emotions, and it’s going to be incredibly difficult to dictate all this book was and made me feel without spoilers, but I will do my best.

At first, I really struggled. I felt soooo disconnected from the story, unable to really dig in and feel immersed. Our narrator is Bel, the daughter of Rachel Price, who was just two at the time of her mother’s disappearance and the last person to see her before she reappeared. Everything she knows about the case and that day is what she’s learned over the years, information filtered through other people’s recollections.

Nothing is as it seems.

I’m not gonna lie, I almost DNFed on several occasions but my GOD am I glad I stuck with it. If you’re a big fan of Jackson’s work from her AGGGTM series, this one is going to feel different for you. I actually told my sister while I read that it felt like this was written by an entirely different person. But that change in narrative style really lent itself to the overall experience of the story.

This one was plotty and twisty and had my heart racing out of my chest. There’s a reason Jackson is one of my fave YA mystery writers, and this book just reaffirmed her status as one of the best!

In the best way possible: What the foxtrot did I just read?

Bel Price has dealt with the disappearance of her mother for 16 years. Despite the fact they were together, Rachel vanished into thin air, leaving Bel, aged two, in the backseat of the car on the side of the road. Now there's a true crime documentary underway covering her mother's disappearance, and the last thing anyone expects happens. Rachel Price reappears.

There are so many red herrings and twists and turns in this book, that I literally paced my apartment while holding my laptop and reading for a majority of the last 50 pages. This book. I cannot. It's perfection. Publishers, don't change a thing.

Wow this was a wild ride and every time I thought I knew what was going on I didn’t. If you love true crime, then this is the book for you since it starts with Bel doing an interview for a true crime documentary about the disappearance of her mother Rachel Price when she was a child. While Bel is annoying at times, the mystery just sucks you in and the twists and turns are so good. I love how everything unfolds and the twist at the end I didn’t see coming. Just so good and the documentary aspect of the book was really great.

Thanks to Delacorte Press and Netgalley for the complimentary copy of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

When I saw that Holly Jackson had written a new book, I knew that I had to read it as soon as possible. "The Reappearance of Rachel Price" had all the elements of true crime that I love, Not only does it provide a fun, modern story, it also has a documentary feel with a surprise twist at the end. It really did feel as if I was watching a Netflix documentary and I could not get enough. Great story overall and recommend to all true crime fans that enjoy documentaries and podcasts.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Children’s for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review!

4.5⭐️! Oh this one is so fun, especially for any true crime girlies. I LOVED A good girl’s guide to murder and the whole true crime podcast vibe but this one totally ups the ante by bringing it into true crime documentary territory. Although Bel (the MC) is really insufferable at times, what pulled me in was 100% the mystery behind the disappearance and reappearance of her mom. It’s obvious from the start something deeper and more nefarious is at play but I could not for the life of me figure out what it was and I LOVED THAT. The twists were so good! And I loved the humanity she brought into this story too. The documentary really works well as a platform for telling a story of family, choice, and persevering.

WOWEE!! Holly Jackson has done it again. I was gripped immediately by the mystery and suspense and there was more than a couple of times where I was scared to be reading in the dark. I didn’t catch on to the major twists at the end, so that’s a huge win for me!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC!

Yes! I absolutely knew I was going to love this book. The twists were insane! I just love this author so much! You are going to get sucked into this one for sure

Loved this book! The mystery, the twists & Bel! So many different feelings towards the characters throughout the book, but loved the ending!

Another great mystery thriller by this author. My high school students will absolutely love the story and the twists and turns. Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC by one of my favorite authors!

This book tells the story of 18 year old Bel, who lives in the shadow of her mother who disappeared 16 years ago. Rachel Price disappeared with Bel in the back seat of her car, but Bel has no memory of the disappearance. Now a true crime documentary is being filmed, and Bel is anxious for the film to be done. She is tired of living in the shadow of her mother. Suddenly Rachel reappears, and bel isn’t so sure her mother is truthful.

I loved this book! Holly Jackson is easily one of my favorite authors and an auto-buy for me. I was ecstatic to get this ARC. If you enjoyed her other books you will love this one. Twisty, fun, true crime based, and an easy read. 5 stars!

Holly Jackson has once again sucked me into another book! I was immersed in this story, so much so that I didn't want to put it down. I read it any chance I could! We are taken through a journey with Rachel Price and her disappearance, as well as her reappearance. I couldn't guess anything that happened. I was right there with Bel suspicious of everything. There was a twist that I really didn't see coming and it was so well done! I'll read anything Holly Jackson writes.

The Reappearance of Rachel Price is Holly Jackson's newest novel and at this point she is an automatic read for me. Another true crime mystery thriller and Holly Jackson never misses! The book follows 18-year-old Bel, who's mother disappears one day and sixteen years later she comes back with a wild explanation of what happened to her!

Easy Five Stars!

Holly Jackson is at it again with another mystery that will keep you guessing the whole time. Reading from the YA perspective (knowing that it wasn't written for me as an adult) I was able to suspend my disbelief of some of the scenarios. Also recognizing, that sometimes life is stranger than fiction so why can't fiction reflect that?
I liked that Bel was not a perfectly likeable main character. There were glaring flaws in her as a person, some reflective of the trauma of growing up having everyone think your dad murdered your mom, and some just the normal flaws of being human.
The family dynamics were very interesting and I enjoyed that too.
Some moments were predictable but for the most part I didn't see it coming and for me that's always the sign of a good book.
If I had to give one 'complaint', the book was hard for me to initially get into. The chapters before the reappearance were kind of boring to me. When Rachel returned then I couldn't put it down.

I am a big fan of the A Good Girl's Guide To Murder series, so I was really excited to read Holly's newest book, and it did not disappoint! This is a story filled with betrayals, plot twists, love, and heartbreak and it kept me guessing until the end. I also enjoyed seeing the main character change throughout the story and grow into a better version of themselves. I definitely recommend picking this one up when it hits shelves on April 2nd! Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Children’s for an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Holly Jackson has done it again! This book is full of twists and turns that will keep readers second-guessing everything until the very end!

Gah! Holly just keeps bringing them and I just keep devouring them. I would read anything that Holly Jackson brings to the table. This book was SO GOOD and I cannot wait for it to come out so I can add it to my shelf collection on hers. SO GOOD because who doesn’t love a book that holds true crime—mystery && thriller genres all in one! I was literally sitting at the edge of my seat the entire time binge reading this until the very very last page. The twists and turns, the characters, the storyline…I loved every single second of it. This book is going to be a favorite of so many people especially her fans when this releases and I cannot wait to share with my book club because those girls are HUGE fanatics! This book will not disappoint anybody! A must have on your TBR!

4.5 ⭐️ rounded up! This book had me hooked from the moment it started. It has such a compelling premise and it takes so many twists and turns throughout the entire story. My ONLY complaint is that from about 25% to about 60% of the way through, it dragged a little bit for me. This story has a ton of detail and is very intricately woven, which is not a bad thing, but can create a little bit of a slower pace at times. I loved the subplot with Bel and Ash and I thought they were adorable. The twists toward the end had me absolutely FLOORED and I truly didn’t see any of it coming. This book does a fantastic job dropping breadcrumbs for the reader to put the story together without making anything too obvious or predictable. The character development was really great as well. Such a good book, absolutely recommend. Thank you SO much to Netgalley and Random House Children’s for the opportunity to read this advance copy!

This. Book. Holly Jackson does it again. When I first heard she was writing a new book, I was so scared to read it because of how highly I viewed A Good Girls Guide to Murder. I thought Jackson was a dynamite writer who knew how to write a good mystery. Well…my theory prevails.

Bel was giving fiery Pip energy to get to the bottom of this family mystery. The bond between Carter and Bel from the jump was powerful, deeper than just a cousin bond (🤭).

There was not a single point in this story in which I knew exactly what was coming next. You could not have prepared me for the plot twists at every corner.

I cannot stress enough how incredibly written this story was. Between the family dynamics, the messy timeline, the shady stories, Jackson thought of everything. This books was so satisfying as every single loose end was tied in a tight bow by the end of the book.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Delacorte Press for this ARC! I love a good mystery. I’m a Holly Jackson stan. I’ll read anything she ever writes. Good day !

Holly Jackson has done it again!! Whatever she puts in her stories leaves me absolutely unhinged and begging for more.

The Reappearance of Rachel Price starts off a bit slow, and at first I was worried that I wasn't connecting with the FMC, Bel. There is quite a bit of family dynamics that takes some building, but once established, I felt as though it flowed well. Once the plot gained some traction, I absolutely could not put this book down! Jackson has such a way of revealing secrets and details that makes your jaw drop, and this new release is no different!

I adored seeing the relationship development between Bel and Carter, as well as how Bel uncovers truths about herself and the adults closest to her. I desperately wanted to see more of the relationship between Bel and the film crew boy (name I have already forgotten because... it was just kind of a forgettable part of the story). I wanted this to align with the FMC/MMC of AGGGTM, but it just did not live up to that standard.

The twists and turns in The Reappearance of Rachel Price kept this wild ride rolling, and left me shocked until the very end! I'm already craving the next release from HJ!

I loved this book. First off, the twists and turns of this story are unlike anything I have read. You know a bit what is to happen by the title but that is only the tip.
