Book Review: All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda
Tuesday, August 22, 2017After hearing about All the Missing Girls for months, I finally decided to pick it up thanks to the recommendation of Dara, and I am so glad I did! As soon as I'd finished the book, I wished I'd never read it so I could experience it for the first time all over again.
Brief synopsis: Nic's best friend went missing 10 years ago, and soon after, she (Nic) left her hometown to start a new life. Now she's back home to help with some family things, and another girl has gone missing. What's happened to both girls and is it connected? This story, told in the unique perspective of reverse order, will have you questioning everything, and everyone.
Just pages in, I was convinced that I knew "who did it," but was never for sure about the how. Well, I was partially right. I also thought for a moment about someone else, but really could have expected it to have been anyone. <-- I know none of that makes any sense.
All the Missing Girls is told in a very unique way - backwards. It starts on day 15 and goes back one day at a time until you've learned it all. I literally could not put it down.
Seriously, I enjoyed this book so, so much, but there is very little I can say without ruining it for anyone who hasn't read it. All I can say is pick it up - you won't regret it!
