Like so many others, I really enjoyed Megan Miranda's All the Missing Girls, so I was very excited to read her latest novel.This one was just as well written, quite obvious that she knows how to write suspense novels. This had an interesting plot that kept me glued to the pages trying to figure out all the angles. The plot twists were strong, the characters were interesting, and I couldn't read fast enough to find out what the hell was going on. Megan Miranda is definitely an author I will keep my eye on.

I LOVED All the Missing Girls so I was very excited to read this book and it didn't disappoint. I loved the story and the pacing of the story. I loved the characters and the fact that I couldn't put this book down. Megan Miranda has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Leah has seen her life fall apart professionally and personally and when a chance meeting with an old friend gives her an escape to a small town, she takes it. Emmy is elusive, it's a part of her charm and one of the things that Leah likes about her, but when a dead woman is found who looks like Leah, Emmy goes missing and Leah has to figure out where she has gone. With the help of Kyle, local adorable cop, Leah searches into the past of a friend she realizes that maybe she didn't know all that well. I found myself questioning Leah and her sense of reality at some points as well, this story was wonderful and had all the things that make a good thriller!

I feel so bad writing this as I was really looking forward to reading this book because I did love Miranda's debut, All The Missing Girls, but I just could not connect with this story. There's always some level of suspension of disbelief needed to enjoy most novels but the premise and main character's actions just seemed too unrealistic and confusing. While reading, all I could ask myself was, "Why would Leah agree to move in with a virtual stranger?", "How could she not know her last name?", "Why didn't she have Emmy put some of the bills in her own name?". My questions over clouded my ability to enjoy this book as much as I hoped to.
