Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review,

This was one of the rare mystery books that had me guessing right up until the very end, and I pride myself on being able to guess whodunnit and see twists coming, so that is high praise. Much like the main character, my thoughts and opinions and allegiances kept shifting back and forth and when the reveal came? I was floored, awed, stunned, and I loved it. The adventure of finding out who is lying about what and, most importantly, WHY had me hooked, and the ending felt realistic and earned. Fans of Jackson's previous works will surely love this one, too.

I read the first two books in the AGGGTM series (and have the third on my TBR) so when I saw that Holly Jackson had put out another book, I was eager to read it. As usual, Jackson didn't disappoint.

_The Reappearance of Rachel Price _ centers around 18-year-old Bel Price, whose life was turned upside down 16 years ago when she was found in an abandoned car. Her mother's disappearance has never been solved, and Bel has established a life with her dad. Now, a film crew has invaded Bel's life, rehashing Rachel's disappearance and causing tension among the Price family = tension that comes to a head when Rachel mysteriously reappears. Secrets are brought to the surface and Bel's whole life is turned upside down.

The ending did seem to drag out a bit, and there was a bit more profanity than felt necessary, but overall it was an interesting read. I'll be adding it to my class library.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is the book that made me fall in love with YA thriller, and I will read anything Holly Jackson writes until the end of time.

One of the things I loved most about this book is that everyone is suspicious, so you aren’t quite sure where to aim your full suspicions.

I also love that you can never see the endings of these books coming, and they’re always just a little darker than you expect.

The one thing that bothers me always though is that the author is British and sometimes she writes like she’s never actually been to the US or heard how people here talk? I almost wish she would just lean into her roots and have her books take place in the UK instead.

The story revolves around Bel, an 18 year old whose mother disappeared when she was just 2 years old. She was there, but has no memories of what happened due to her young age. Now she’s being forced to “relive” the disappearance through the filming of a documentary, when she stumbles upon her mother again.

Bel is close to the family she grew up with, which includes her father as well as her cousin who grew up down the road. She has a lot of questions when her mother, Rachel, returns and is unsure if she trusts Rachel’s answers. She uses her cousin and the documentary to try to find out the truth.

The story is told in third person from Bel’s perspective.

Holly Jackson does it again. I devoured this book. Read it in one day. To say it held my attention is an understatement. The characters were not lovable the entire time, but there was so much suspense that I could not put it down. I feel that most readers try to guess a little what the truth is while they’re reading and this story was not predictable at all.

Wow! Such a great read! Thank you NetGalley for this ARC from one of my favorite authors! Holly Jackson has become an instant read for me. I love her mystery focused plots with lots of twists and turns along the way. This is one of those books you want to go back and read again after so see all the breadcrumbs along the way. Definitely recommend this one to fans of thrillers! I couldn't stop reading it!

Holly Jackson wasn’t lying when she advertised this book as her best book written yet!!! Initially, I was truly skeptical about her statements - how could anything beat her “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” trilogy? Now that I’ve finished it, I can verify that in my opinion, I do believe it’s the most well-written of her books yet. However, the trilogy is forever near and dear to my heart, and I still hold my beliefs that nothing could possibly beat those three books in my mental rankings.

This book follows Annabel Price (However, don’t call her that! Call her Bel!), an eighteen year old girl living in New Hampshire who has been stuck in a void for her sixteen years ever since her mother disappeared. The case of her mother, Rachel Price’s, disappearance rocked not only Bel’s community, but the entire country. Everybody has become so immersed in it, thinking that they, themselves, deserve answers in a case that doesn’t even pertain to them at all, some even wanting to solve it themselves. In a world where true crime is so popularized nowadays, it’s sometimes difficult for those who consume true crime media to stand on a line of being interested by the facts of the case, versus being utterly insensitive and causing the victims even more trouble. How far is too far? Bel lives this life of infamous-ness, being often referred to as “Rachel Price’s daughter,” not even by her real name. When a documentary becomes on the table for the Prices, the family takes it, consenting to tell the story of the disappearance of their beloved Rachel. But, what would happen if (hypothetically… of course…) Rachel were to reappear? How will this family of mystery react? How will the world react?


Despite being my second favorite of her projects, it is still clear how this is truly the best book she has written so far in her career. The plot itself is so incredibly immerse and I could not put this book down for a second, dreading whenever I had to. There isn’t a single detail that Holly Jackson didn’t meticulously add to the story for a reason. Everything is connected. Holly Jackson has a way of immersing the readers into the story with the characters, making them feel like they’re solving everything right along with Bel. At least for me, I couldn’t predict anything that happened, and I had so many predictions as I read!!!! I’d think I finally got something right, and then I’d turn the page and my theories were proven wrong. Although it’s a good feeling to be proven right, it’s an even better feeling to realize how totally unpredictable a book is once you’ve finished it.

As well as the plot, I loved how complex every single character is, whether or not you realize it at first. Firstly, the main character Bel - the realism of her characterization made me love her so much! Please give us more grumpy female main characters!!! I loved her so much! Sure, she seems a bit abrasive and harsh, but she’s an eighteen year old girl! I’d be much more concerned if the teenage main character of a mystery book was all cheery!! Secondly, I’ll just clump literally every single other character in together - in this book, you’ll be introduced to so many characters and never expect for them to be expanded on in the future, because how could such an unimportant character have such a developed backstory? Well, they really all do, and I had the time of my life learning about all of them!! Just… maybe don’t trust them all!

Holly Jackson’s writing continues to get better and better, and this book is a true example of it! I could read this (and any of her other books) over and over again and never get tired of it.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.

I was really looking forward to read the new Holly Jackson book, as the premise felt really intriguing to me.
The pacing of the book makes you really feel on edge and makes it hard to put down. You think you figured it out but then another twist gets thrown in and it just keeps going. I loved each and every part of it.

While Bel might be abrasive and somewhat unlikable, I instantly clicked with her character and enjoyed her story and growth. Definitely recommend it.

I love Holly Jackson's writing, I loved the Good Girls Guide to Murder trilogy. This book had some of the aspects of those books; down to the names. I thought I knew what was happening, with Bel's mom reappearing but I was wrong. The ending threw me off but now looking at the beginning, I fully understand it. What I don’t care about is the way her mom helped her own case through social media.

The Reappearance of Rachel Price" is now my favorite book by Holly Jackson. Even though I was already a fan of her "Good Girl Guide to Murder" series, this book exceeded my expectations. I was able to finish it in just a couple of days.

Rachel Price went missing sixteen years ago, and suddenly, she resurfaces out of nowhere. Bel, Rachel's daughter, is determined to uncover the truth about what happened to her mother and how she managed to return to her life.

This book took me on an exhilarating journey from beginning to end. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, Jackson would take the story in a whole new direction, and I was left stunned. The true crime mystery plot was a great concept, especially for someone like me, who loves true crime podcasts. It was entertaining to follow Bel's perspective as she and her team made a documentary on her mother's disappearance.

However, my only complaint about the book is that the ending felt a bit unrealistic and strange. While it was enjoyable for entertainment purposes, I found it hard to believe that the three main characters, especially Carter, would act the way they did without any remorse.

Thank you to NetGallery and to Random House Children’s for giving me a copy of this book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the arc!
I was so excited to received an advanced copy of this and devoured it in one day! I LOVED it! I have enjoyed all the books by Holly Jackson and this is amazing as well! The storyline of shooting a documentary about a missing woman, Rachel Price, who then shows up during the tapings and leaves everyone shocked and confused. Her own daughter wasn’t sure she believed her story. This book had plenty of twists along the way that I hadn’t even been close to guessing how it was going to end and the ending was sooo good! 10/10 recommend!!

So many great twists and turns - who to trust changed in each chapter, and I never would have guessed how the dynamics and relationships would’ve shifted by the end. A compelling and fun read.

This book provides many turns and twists to a story of family betrayal and lies that it really keeps your attention. Even if you think you know where this story is going you will be wrong time and again. Another great story telling by Holly Jackson. Definitely worth the read. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Bel has lived her life keeping people at a distance. Ever since she was abandoned in the backseat of a car at two years old when her mother, Rachel, vanished into thin air, she knows that people always leave. Sixteen years after her mom's disappearance, her father has agreed to a crew film a documentary about Bel's mother's disappearance, and while Bel is unhappy about his choice, she goes along with it to support him. Part way through filming, Rachel reappears in the woods, beginning the unraveling of the mystery behind her disappearance. Bel is suspicious of the timing of her return and is determined to prove that Rachel is lying about what happened. A captivating read that races towards the solving of the central mystery, this book's somewhat unlikeable protagonist goes through a rollercoaster of emotions, and ultimately, growth throughout the book. While the pace lagged at times and some of the story transitions were a bit disjointed, I thoroughly enjoyed the newest addition to Holly Jackson's works.

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc copy of this book!

I loved the Holly Jackson Good Girls Guide series, and was so excited when I got an arc of this book. It’s excellent and fast paced, in the same way that GGGTM was….made me say “one more chapter” until I was done! Can’t wait to recommend it to my students!

This book kept me on the edge of the seat. While Bel's family is making a documentary about the disappearance of her mother, Rachel, who should appear on their doorstep but Rachel herself, 16 years after she disappeared? Everyone is excited for her return, but Bel begins to notice inconsistencies in her story. She catches Rachel sneaking around. Then Bel's dad, Charlie, disappears, and she has no idea who to believe. What is the truth? Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Bel's mom vanished into thin air when Bel was two, and it's been 16 years since this happened. Now, someone wants to make a documentary about Rachel's disappearance, since the case was never solved. The crew has started filming and investigating, when unexpectedly Rachel returns. She has a vague story about where she's been and Bel knows Rachel is lying about where's she been and what actually happened and has set out to prove it.
Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy. It took a few chapters to get into the story, but once Rachel appeared, I was all in for the numerous twists and turns and nonstop action. This will appeal to both high school students and adults because it the feel of an adult thriller than a YA thriller. Fans of Jackson's GGGTM books will enjoy this one too.

It doesn't get any better than Holly Jackson! Can this woman write! I know some of you may be thinking that a young adult thriller may not hold your interest - let me tell you, you would be dead wrong. And her latest, "The Reappearance of Rachel Price" is probably one of her best yet! The thrills, the twists, the superb writing and characterization draws you in and doesn't let go until you have turned the last page! And once you have finished, you will be in the most spectacular book-slump. I promise. This book was absolutely fantastic and I don't know how anyone could have done any better. Definitely one of my favorite reads of the new year! Well done Ms. Jackson!!! And keep them coming!

Wow, I like Holly Jackson more and more with each of her books I read! This one is my favorite yet. Bel grows up without her mother, who disappeared when she was just a baby. Just a documentary team is in the midst of filming about Bel's family and her mom's disappearance, Rachel Price appears and thus begins Bel's quest to find out the truth of her mother and her entire family. Full of great twist and turns, this book is a real page turner and will leave readers guessing. Character development is good here and family dynamics are quite realistic and believable. Bel's journey through her attitudes, thoughts, and feelings make this the perfect YA high interest story, but the book is enjoyable for adults as well. Another great Holly Jackson thriller.

Oh my god this one was crazy!! I really enjoyed this book. It is surprising to me that this can be considered YA. I definitely did not guess the twist. Overall 5 stars!

This book was engaging from beginning to end! I read it in one day. The book kept me guessing and as new information was revealed, I kept adjusting my theory for how it would end. If you liked A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, you will also love this book!
