What intrigued me about this novel was this whole idea of it being written backwards. I don't think I've ever read a book where the story starts at the end of the investigation and moves toward the beginning. After reading this novel, I can tell you that I am not a fan of this style. The author definitely did a good job in executing this style; everything flowed and made sense. However, I found it annoying to keep the timeline straight in my head and make all of the connections. I read my books on my tablet and having to flip back and forth can be really annoying; I hated doing that for my english courses in high school and university so you can bet I didn't enjoy doing it now! I also found the story to be bland. I had to struggle to stay interested for about 50% of the story, and even when it got interesting, it wasn't something that made my heart pound. Apart from my personal preference about the style of writing and my lack of excitement about the plot, I really didn't like the characters in this story. Mostly because they have no personality. There is nothing special or endearing. There is nothing to make me hate them and there is nothing to make me like them. They just ... exist. And they're really boring, especially Nic. Sometimes there would be this constant monologue going on and I just could not care less about what she was saying. I just wanted something to happen, something other than her talking or thinking or driving around. Overall, this story didn't cut it for me. I didn't like the pacing, the style, or the characters; it didn't do much in terms of a thrill either (my guess about the truth was pretty spot-on). I'm sure there are loads of people who will disagree with me but this is just my honest feelings on this novel.

Great read!  The author tells a great story.  I look forward to reading more from this same author.

While predictable, the storyline was easy to follow and just enough to keep the reader involved.

I was very fascinated by how this story was told in reverse. It made for an interesting and suspenseful read. I am looking forward to reading more by this author.

Thank you Netgalley, Simon & Schuster and Megan Miranda for the chance to read and review. I really enjoyed All the missing girls and find that Megan Miranda did a great job in writing the story from end to beginning. I can't say that I really liked any of the characters but their story was very intriguing.

This book was fantastic and really sucked me in. Be warned, though, it has sensitive content - all the trigger warnings apply!

I originally didn't really care for this book, when I first started it and most of the way though.  I wasn't a fan of the backwards setup.  But the end was totally amazing that it redeemed itself.  I still am not a huge fan of the backwards plot, but I totally get why she did it that way.  The ending was shocking and totally unexpected.

Due to a recent decrease in allowable reading time, I am no longer going to be able to read and review this title. I would like to thank you for considering me for this title and hope that at some point in the future we can work together again.

All the Missing Girls features two mysteries (10 years apart), both involving the disappearance of two girls in a small rural town in the USA. Although the book opens and closes in the present day, the main part of the story is told backwards, from Day 15 to Day 1. The ending of the book is really the beginning of the story.

I found myself immersed in the narrative from early on. The setting is highly atmospheric, and there were plenty of believable characters, although I can't say I liked any of them. This is a great study of small town America, in a town filled with secrets and lies.

Each chapter/day reveals more facts about the disappearance of Nicolette's friend Corinne 10 years earlier and gets closer to the truth. The author cleverly dripfeeds the clues, with a slow reveal of Nicolette's haunting memories of that time. I gave up trying to figuring everything out, not only because of the twists and turns, but also because the format of the book made it more difficult to guess. This made the ending, with the truth finally revealed, very unexpected.

All the Missing Girls was an enjoyable and gripping read, with some fast-paced moments and plenty of tension.

Takes time to get into.definitely picks up pace and keeps you interested up to the last page

I loved this book, it was such a refreshingly different book. I have never read a book that jumped like this book, it was interesting and a bit unnerving. The book hooked me and reeled me in, each chapter would give us just enough to make you understand the previous one.  I will definitely be looking for more ofMegan Miranda's books.

This book had a uniqueness to it that I really appreciated. It had all the same important aspects to it that makes it a good mystery/thriller but it was written in a different way that made it exciting to read.

A can't be missed psychological thriller for fans of books with twists and turns the reader never sees coming.

WOW!!! This book gave me chills and goose bumps!!! Very well written! I loved the characters and all of the twist and turns! I couldn't stop reading this book! Hands down one of the best books I've read in 2017!! Great job!!!

It is 24 hours since I finished All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda. I have thought about it constantly since I finished it, and I still don't really know what to think of it.

<i>'I have to tell it this way, in pieces. I have to work my way up to it. Work my way back to it. I have to show you the beautiful things  before I get to the ugly.'</i>

I found All the Missing girls a difficult read. That is not necessarily a bad thing. I have really enjoyed many other books that were difficult reads. It took some getting my head around that we were working backwards a day at a time. I found it confusing in parts and I would be thinking 'What?'. Reading this book is kind of like playing Jeopardy -  you have the answers before you know what the question is, although the answers you have may not necessarily be the correct ones.

<i> 'There is nothing more dangerous, nothing more powerful, nothing more necessary and essential for survival than the lies we tell ourselves.'</i> But we don't just lie to ourselves; we lie to others as well. And where do those lies end? Or do they end? If they are told enough times and for long enough, do they become mistaken for the truth?

I can see that this book had to be written this way and, strangely enough, it works. But did I like it? I still don't know. It intrigued me. It had me thinking 'clever!' and at times 'very clever!'. But I was quite happy to put it down and walk away. It did not take over my life, as some books do. I was not riveted by it. Will I read more by this author? Yes.

And so after much thought, I award this book 3.5 stars, upgraded to 4.

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for providing a digital ARC of All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda for review. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

This book to over my life! I could not put it down! 

Nic Farrell reluctantly returns home to small town Cooley Ridge, North Carolina to help care for her ailing father. Having fled 10 years ago after the disappearance of her best friend Corinne, Nic has done all that she can to put the past behind her and move on. But Nic has a secret about Corinne, and as we all know, secrets come to the surface. When Annaleise, a girl who served as Nic’s alibi the night Corinne went missing, also goes missing, Nic’s new life begins to unravel.

All the Missing Girls is told in the reverse--starting from day 15 and moving towards day 1. The structure kept me riveted, as little clues were revealed with each passing day. 
Telling the events in reverse form vs. past to present added an interesting twist and enhanced the unreliability of Nic as a narrator. This psychological thriller is packed with tension and intrigue. I recommend for an entertaining read.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review

Filled with plenty of twists and turns while maintaining a wholesome small town sort of feel, this book draws you in and keeps you close as you hang on for a wild ride. Tapping into all of our Nostalgia of our childhoods, especially if you're from a small town, this book is a gift that keeps on giving

Deliciously enjoyable, with a narrator you shouldn't like (but do). Cleverly plotted, full of mostly unexpected twists and turns, and a great sense of foreboding. A page turner.

Thank you Publisher and NetGalley.  Wow what a fantastic book,  this had me hooked right from the very beginning and the ending was not what I was expecting at all.   The flow and content of this book was second to none.  I do not get the comparison to Gone Girl,  this book is standalone and I would highly recommend this book to other readers who enjoy thrillers with lots of twists.

This book got my attention in the first few pages and kept me wanting more.  The reverse story telling was a refreshing twist in a genre that has been growing increasingly predictable.  This title is being compared to Hawkin's The Girl on the Train but All the Missing girls had more twists, a better plot and characters with depth.  I was excited to hear that it is the first in a series with the second title, The Perfect Stranger, coming out in May 2017.  I selected the title for the book group I lead, and I think it will make for a great discussion.
