"Hawthorn wasn't trying to insert herself into a missing person's investigation. Or maybe she was. But that's only because Lizzie Lovett's disappearance is the one fascinating mystery their sleepy town has ever had. Bad things don't happen to popular girls like Lizzie Lovett, and Hawthorn is convinced she'll turn up at any moment - which means the time for speculation is now.
So Hawthorn comes up with her own theory for Lizzie's disappearance. A theory way too absurd to take seriously... at first. The more Hawthorn talks, the more she believes. And what better way to collect evidence than to immerse herself in Lizzie's life? Like getting a job at the diner where Lizzie worked and hanging out with Lizzie's boyfriend. After all, it's not as if he killed her - or did he?"
From the very beginning, I fell in love with this book and it's story line. You will immediately find yourself falling in love with the main character Hawthorn. She is so beautifully realistic in how flawed she really is. She has such an enthusiasm for her beliefs and how she truly searches just to sit in. This book flowed very smoothly and kept me reading up late at night just to see what was going to happen next. The plot to this book was genius and is not something that has been too overdone, which is refreshing for many readers including myself. This book really shows what it is like to try and discover your true self. I also enjoyed Hawthorn's vivid and creative imagination. The characters all fit together perfectly and their development was incredible to read. The author, Chelsea Sedoti, threw so many brilliant concept together and made this a magnificent story filled with twists and turns. The ending, was not what I originally thought was going to happen, but it ended up fitting nicely.
4 out of 5 stars!
