Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da ich es aufgrund relativ kurzer Ausleihdauer (ohne Verlängerung) nicht lesen konnte.

In many ways, this book is an example of what has become standard in a teen thriller. We have: a missing teen; friendships that largely exist in the summer; the power imbalance of the wealthy in a coastal town; a tenuous romance that is affected by grief; secrets that run deep in a community. It's not treading a lot of new ground or pushing boundaries, but sometimes that's okay. We don't always need a thriller to challenge us, just to entertain us. And this book is entertaining. It keeps a strong pace and balances revelations with emotional interest. Characters are strong enough to be engaging though not terribly deep. While some of the events push the bounds of beleivability, it doesn't go too far. This isn't a book bound to be a classic but it is entertaining.

"Last summer, they searched for Audrey Covington. This summer, they'll search for the truth."
The Summer She Went Missing is a page turner from beginning to end and has so many twist and turns. The author wrote this so well and had great characters in it. I look forward to reading more books from the author. Overall I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves a good YA mystery or thriller. Thank you to NetGalley and SourceBooks Fire for this read in exchange of my honest review of The Summer She Went Missing.

As for Paige, she was ready to do anything to bring back her friend, Audrey Covington, who went missing one year back. People lost hope on Audrey's case and that is when Paige finds something that could lead to Audrey. She and Audrey's brother, Dylan decide to investigate and find the whereabouts of the girl who disappeared from their summer house. As they find evidence, they realise that Audrey might not be the sweet girl that they knew their entire life!

My interest in reading mysteries was what led me to this book. For the first few chapters, the book showed Paige's arrival in Audrey's house, her love for her best friend's brother and the teenage life they happily lived. Soon enough, Audrey distances herself from others and one day goes missing. What was so bizzare about this was that no one knew what Audrey was upto!

There was suspense throughout the story. The book not only maintained the suspense as to what happened to Audrey but also to another girl whose disappearance was connected to that of Audrey's. I liked the team made by Dylan and Paige and the extent to which they were ready to go to save Audrey.

The romantic moments between Paige and Dylan were the much needed break from Audrey's case and it was refreshing to read those moments. If you enjoyed A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series and loved the team made by Pippa and Ravi, then I highly recommend this book!

Again, I thought this was easy to follow, inviting new readers to the genre, and exciting current mystery lovers with a familiar, formulaic feel to the unraveling. Paige’s investigation has many red herrings, but I was satisfied with the ultimate reveal of both Audrey and another missing girl, Madison Blake (who went missing a few months before Audrey)’s whereabouts.

This book was very intriguing! The description immediately reminded me of my favorite show, Pretty Little Liars. I love the thriller elements of secrets, investigations, and missing girls. It truly gave me someone to route for and I was very invested in solving the mystery alongside the main character!

Paige's family has spent every summer that she can remember with her best friend Audrey's family's lake house. Even though Audrey's family is more wealthy that Paige's, it's never been a problem- their summers together have been spent on the river having adventures, and possibly flirting with Audrey's older brother Dylan. The summer before Paige's senior, she is secretly dating Dylan and everything is going perfectly until the night Audrey vanishes.
Now Audrey has been missing for a full year, and the police are out of leads, Dylan and Paige have drifted apart, and Audrey's parents are unraveling under their grief. Nothing about this summer feels comfortable or settled, so Paige and Dylan decide that they will do the police's job and find out what happened to Audrey themselves,

Love this fast-paced, enticing thriller, with plenty of twists to keep you turning the page! It was so fun and entertaining and yet had a strong emotional centre at the same time. The characters were funny and interesting and in particular, the main two had a great dynamic and chemistry that leapt off the page. Ichaso doesn't disappoint yet again!

First, I would like to thank NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this ARC.

This is a fast paced story that keeps you interested from the first lie. I enjoyed the alternating point of view's and the timelines. The twists were hard to predict and was extremely suspenseful. I will recommend this for students in my classroom.

I think the overall plot was good, but it was let down by the pace and the characters. I don't really feel I ever knew who Paige and Noah were, beyond their desire to find out what happened and a bit of a rushed relationship. I would say it doesn't really pick up until after 50% and it's only the fact I do want to find out what happened that kept me reading. The ending was satisfying, I'll give it that!

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

"Last summer, they searched for Audrey Covington. This summer, they'll search for the truth."

Paige has it made. Summers spent with her best friend, Audrey, who just happens to have a hot (and funny and smart and kind) older brother named Dylan, who just might be interested in something more this summer. But then Audrey disappears. And Paige and Dylan HAVE to find out the truth of what happened and where Audrey went.

This was a fun, fast summer read and I really enjoyed it. Summer romance meets thriller. I liked the characters and the relationships and would absolutely read whatever Chelsea Ichaso comes up with next.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I feel like it had been a while since I've had a good YA thriller, and I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I'll be honest, I didn't know much about the book when I requested it on Netgalley, but I was quite curious once I read the summary. 
I struggled a bit with Part One, which takes place the summer Audrey disappears, and I think it was because it took a bit of time to really see to get into the mystery of Audrey's disappearance. Part one does spend a good chunk of the time on Paige and Dylan's relationship, which wasn't what I was looking for at first, but once part 2 started, I was hooked.
The Summer She Went Missing is the kind of book that I find harder to talk about, because I don't want to spoil anything. Once Paige and Dylan strart looking into the disappearance of Audrey, that's where the story got interesting for me, but also where the twists start happening, and I don't want to ruin them for anyone.
Overall, it was a solid read, and it was a really enjoyable book. If you are looking for a YA thriller, I think it is definitely worth checking out. I know I will go and probably rad some of Chelsea Ichaso's other books.

Last summer, Paige's best friend Audrey went missing. This summer, Paige and Audrey's brother/Paige's love interest, Dylan, work together to investigate what happened to Audrey and try to bring her back alive.

I thought overall this was a good YA mystery/thriller! I do think the first half was a little more fast paced than the second half. I also think the whodunit was a smidge out of nowhere (at least half of it). Besides that, it was still decently fast paced and intriguing!

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I highly recommend this mystery for young adults!

16yo Paige and 16yo Audrey are summertime best friends. Paige is looking forward to seeing Audrey and 18yo Dylan, Paige’s long time crush, this summer when they all arrive at Clearwater Ridge. Audrey starts off the summer by talking about jobs and her goal to save enough money to buy her own horse, since she’s always wanted one and spends so much time at the equestrian club. Since Audrey is busy and growing distant, Paige and Dylan get to spend more time together. One summer night, Audrey never returns home and she becomes a missing person case and a year later there’s still no evidence or help in finding her. Dylan and Paige take it upon themselves to find Audrey and the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the situation becomes.

Likes/dislikes:
Mature Content: PG-13 for underage drinking.
Language: R for 61 swears and no f-words.
Violence: PG-13 for bloody death and abuse.
Ethnicity: predominantly white.

Quintessential YA thriller. This book is so much fun and so gripping. I think teen readers will like this book, where the younger characters mostly feel like actual teenagers. Summer vacation thrillers are always a good time, and this one that deals with class and status -- plus societal misogyny -- is especially good.

A YA mystery that is a wonderful read for all. It definitely follows a great mystery plotline and the characters were well-written to support the story.

While I enjoyed this book, it felt more YA than I expected. I requested it based on the title and cover. It was a quick read and I couldn’t put it down. The ending felt slightly rushed to me. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to people who enjoy YA and thrillers.

This was an interesting YA mystery/thriller, with an unexpected twist.

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.

I have been provided with a review copy of this title from NetGalley for an impartial review. I was just drawn into this wonderful story and I just couldn’t get enough of it. It was just so easy to get lost in this great story. I just didn’t want it to end. I just lost myself in and I just couldn’t get enough of these interesting characters. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.

Summary: Paige Redmond has always felt lucky to spend her summers in Clearwater Ridge, with lazy days sunning at the waterfalls and nights partying at the sprawling houses of the rich families who vacation there. The Covingtons are one of these families, and beautiful, brilliant Audrey Covington is Paige’s best friend. And last year, when Audrey’s crush-worthy brother Dylan finally started noticing Paige, she was sure it would be the best summer ever.

Except Audrey didn’t seem quite like herself. Then one night, she didn’t come home. Though Audrey wasn’t the first girl to disappear in Clearwater Ridge, she left behind more lies than clues. Now, one summer later, her case has gone cold, and nobody, least of all Paige, can make sense of what happened.

When Paige stumbles across a secret hidden in Audrey’s room, however, it changes everything she thought she knew about last summer. She and Dylan set out on their own investigation, discovering things even the police don’t know about the people of Clearwater Ridge. But tracking down missing girls—girls who might be beyond saving by now—means entering a world far darker than Paige has ever imagined. And if she isn’t careful, she’ll become the next girl to vanish.

My thoughts: Thank you @netgalley and @sourcebooks for the advanced copy, this YA thriller came out earlier this month! I loved the audio of this one, I thought the narrator was fantastic. Overall I thought the story was good but not great. It was a quick mystery. I like how it was divided into almost two books. I figured out who the villian was pretty easily and found the protagonist to be annoying at times. This one felt very YA to me in some parts. But this one would be a quick summer/spring thriller for me to read on the beach. Overall it was good but not great!
