Overall Verdict: An immersive thriller that dives into sisterhood and self-worth

4/5

Book Summary: Sisters Grace and Maddy go on their traditional Senior Sabbatical Trip. Both sisters are balancing their feelings about their upcoming futures and the trauma of their past. Learning “life lessons” on their trip will either help their relationship or drive them farther apart. When Grace is found bloody and with no memory of the recent trip, she battles more questions as she tries to find answers. With her sister Maddy still missing, Grace races to regain her memories and determine what she is blocking out.

My Analysis: This was a solid read that will keep you invested throughout. Wanting to uncover what happened to these characters definitely drives the plot. It is told in alternating past and present perspectives, which was nicely done and helps share character growth. I also liked the addition of Maddy’s poems that were inter dispersed. The author does well sharing the characters inner feelings and how it impacts their lives and the relationships with those around them. She doesn’t shy away from the hard realities either, which I appreciated. Although there is a missing person and there is mystery involved, this is really more of a story of sisterhood and taking a look at one’s self-worth.
