Thank you NetGalley and RBMedia for the ARC of this audiobook for my honest review

An incredible mystery, It never had a boring moment , the characters were really well thought out, the writing was incredible and I just can’t think of a negative for this book. I really recommend this.

I'll be publishing my review on Goodreads and StoryGraph 6th January and on Tik tok most likely will add to a monthly wrap up post with review the beginning of February

It is an intriguing mystery of cousins with one suddenly be missing. Suja portrays wonderfully how awful mobbing can be but even how worse things can go. I was on the edge of my seat since the first minutes of the audiobook in and I did not see the twist coming!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Net Galley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

When Mimi Went Missing is a tragic mystery/thriller. Tanvi comes to live with her Auntie and cousin Mimi after tragically loosing her parents in a car crash. Everything is going well, finally, until Beth decides to be Mimi's BFF. A tragedy happens and we have Tanvi the unreliable narrator trying to find Mimi. This book is sad and mysterious. It kept me questioning my predictions on who was the culprit. The one thing that bothered me was the lack of adult involvement in trying to find Mimi. After some of the things that happened to Tanvi, you would think she would go to an adult.
Although this is a young a adult book it touches on depression after the loss of a child-misarrange. I think this is important because unfortunately even teens can go through this. Maybe it will help someone recognize the depression and they can get the help they need.

This book can keep you reading until you finally finish it.
Recently I have been really interested in multicultural reading, involving different sets or characters of different nationality. I have come to the conclusion that those add colour to the book itself. The Indian heritage of Mimi and Tanvi brought some spicy odour to the reading itself.
The mystery seems simple enough to follow, though the amnesia and final revelation to the motives of the bad character still remain unrevealed to me. I am not satisfied with the reasoning, but the book was well written and enjoyable from the first page to the last one.

4⭐ (considering it's YA)
A fast-paced YA mystery/thriller about Tanvi solving the mystery around her missing cousin, Mimi, while simultaneously recovering her missing memories AND dealing/healing her past.

What an absolute page-turner!

✨Thank you RB MEDIA & NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

After her mother kills her father, Tanvi moves in with her aunt and her cousin Mimi. She has spent the past several years working through the trauma and PTSD, and Mimi has been looking out for her all along the way--until recently. As Mimi becomes closer friends with Beth, she shuts Tanvi out more and more. But when Mimi disappears and Tanvi can't remember anything about the previous night or the injuries she sustained, everything comes into question.

This was a solid mystery/thriller that fans of horror will love. I'm not sure that the relationship between Mimi and Tanvi was explored enough, and the killer's motivations didn't seem plausible. Probably not things that most student readers will take issue with.

When Mimi Went missing focuses on Tavi searching for her cousin, who has gone missing. Her cousin and her were estranged. Mimi suddenly started ghosting her cousin and cutting her out of her life? What happened at the party after Tanvi left? Who sent the picture? Is her cousin alive or did something terrible happen to her? Why did Tanvi wake up with dirty clothes and bruises the night her cousin went missing? IsTanvi a reliable narrator?

This books offers many twists and turns. Tanvi is filled with self doubt and spends the entire book trying to determine if she is capable of following in her mother’s footsteps. It also delves into the competitiveness indoctrinated into all women, starting when they are children and grows exponentially when they are teen girls.
While there are some issues such as repetitiveness of some of the storyline throughout the book, it does have offers an authentic voice. The book does a great job exploreing the themes of betrayal, grief, self doubt, mental illness, and bullying.

Trigger warnings: murder, miscarriage, suicide, bullying, drug use

This one held my attention for the duration of the book, but I didn't necessarily think it was anything special. It seemed to be a typical YA - girl goes missing, main character is suspected, main character figures out who did it and uncovers secrets. I'm not saying I don't like this trope - I picked it up after all. It just didn't have me on the edge of my seat and I think it's forgettable.

If you're like me and enjoy this YA trope, go for it. It's fine for a one time read.

What happens when the cousin you love like a sister, whose family you have moved in after your own parents died, betrays you in the worst way?

That's what this story explores, after Tanvi's cousin Mimi becomes friends with one of the meanest girls in their school and does something incredibly cruel that leads Tanvi - already a trauma survivor - to spiral. And then Mimi disappears, leaving Tanvi desperate to find her and to mend fences...

The two cousins in this story are Indian American, but the narrator felt like she was trying too hard with some words, including the pronunciation of Tanvi's name! The storytelling had some interesting aspects but it felt a little all over the place, and the story was not particularly memorable for me. Nevertheless, I am sure there are readers who will enjoy it more than I did, so do check it out for yourself.

This book was awesome! It was a mystery, drama, it ripped my heart out and made me angry too. This book is why I hated girls in high school, this was Mean Girls taken to a whole new level.

The writing was awesome and the narrator was really really good. The book kept me so engaged I finished it in just over one day. The story was really believable and makes me glad I am not a teenage girl anymore!

Tanvi was such an intriguing FMC. The mystery surrounding Mimi going missing really had me on the edge of my seat. I kept trying to guess who did it and what happened, but I was wrong in the end. I loved the twists. I loved Tanvi's determination to figure out what happened to Mimi. It truly showed they had such a good cousin bond. The ending truly shocked me, like what??! That's wild.

I received this Audiobook ARC from RBMedia/Recorded Books and NetGalley to listen/review. All of the statements above are after I fully listened to the audiobook.

I got this as an audio arc on Netgalley and it has since come out. Very solid psychological thriller! The end was both surprising and not since you see so many possible options about what is happening, you are kept on your toes. The narrator was really pleasant.

I enjoyed this YA thriller debut that has Tanvi, trying to piece together what happened to Mimi, her cousin and the girl she thought of as a sister when she wakes up not remembering what happened at a party the night before. This was a twisty psychological thriller featuring a South Asian lead who has anxiety and panic attacks that was good on audio. Definitely recommended for those looking for a fresh take on the genre and fans of A good girl's guide to murder. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review!

I am a huge fan of YA thrillers so I was excited to receive this audiobook arc from NetGalley and RBmedia. I thought the beginning of the book was well done and it did draw me in. Around halfway I started to get frustrated. The main character just kept repeating "the facts" and her thoughts over and over. I also had issues with her being an unreliable narrator because it felt convenient for her to just drop new facts throughout the story. The narration was done pretty well. There were many female characters and it was hard to tell them apart listening to the audiobook at times. Overall, I enjoyed the fact that it was a thriller and it was different. The main character is Indian and she suffered a horrible tragedy and struggles from anxiety and PTSD. I felt like that was unique and different, but overall it was slow and very predictable.

This is about as suspenseful as a YA book can get. The twists and turns of the story made this a nail-biter. I appreciate the diversity in the characters of this book because there really isn’t any mystery books with South Asian characters at all.

It gives off a “Pretty Little Liars” and “13 Reasons Why” vibe.

This was an #audiobook #ARC sent by #NetGalley and #RBMedia. The opinions expressed are my own.
