Reviews

""Alarming and uplifting, a rare psychological thriller that has a kind heart at its center. Read it with all the lights on."" -- ""E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars"" ""Bestselling Oliver weaves a taut mystery interspersed with blog posts about Madeline's disappearance, and the story is made all the more compelling by Nick and Dara's close but troubling relationship, marked by both love and intense jealousy."" -- ""Booklist"" ""Different as night and day, sisters Nick and Dara are practically joined at the hip...Oliver's characterizations and background stories are well developed and compulsively readable. The relationship between Nick and Dara drives the plot and is very realistic. The twist the author incorporates at the end is dramatic without being absurd and was completely unexpected. Recommend to teens looking for a well-written work with a juicy ending. They will not be disappointed."" -- ""School Library Journal"" ""Oliver is in top form in this psychological family drama that investigates the complicated nature of sisterhood. Perfect for readers who devoured We Were Liars, it's the sort of novel that readers will race to finish, then return to the beginning to marvel at how it was constructed--and at everything they missed."" -- ""Publishers Weekly (starred review)""
