i read this book just over 2 weeks ago and i'm having to google it to write this review so uh, maybe an indication of how memorable the book was??

right. google has reminded me. i actually really liked this book! the premise is a little girl went missing 12 years ago, it's now the present day and she's returned but all is not as it seems. spoiler free good things: i haven't read a missing girl thriller that's done in quite this way before & the ending was genuinely pretty thrilling.

spoilers:

so we find out fairly early on that she an imposter and i neeeeearly dnf'd the book. i'm much more of a fan of the returnee actually being the missing person. however, it really picked up from there and there's a really intriguing cat and mouse between the girl and 'her' parents

so, enjoyable in the moment but fairly forgettable in the long run
