Goodreads review by brthnn on May 04, 2017

I haven't read the book yet but I preordered it but it's obvious that all the previous comments are fake accounts. Weirdly enough they all come from the same place "Minneapolis" and read very little books (6 for some, 1 for others) and are all bashing her and her acting skills. They obviously don't......more

Goodreads review by Jenna on August 19, 2018

I am finding it nearly impossible to rate this book. On the one hand, I actually enjoyed reading it. But on the other, the plot was entirely too unbelievable, many of the characters were stock characters, and the book was full of so many typos I am convinced there was no copy editor. So yeah, safe to......more

Goodreads review by PinkAmy loves books, cats and naps on June 21, 2023

1.5 STARS SPOILERS I eagerly looked forward to Bailee Madison’s debut novel based on the blurb, a missing twin, possible mental illness, what could be more interesting? The answer is a much better book. First the positives: -Madison crafted a unique family of real substance. The twins’ mom had been a......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on January 30, 2018

Such an intense, exciting, & suspenseful read that will leave readers with the feeling that no matter how good the next book they read is, it will have no chance of being as good. Almost a year has passed since Payton Brave’s twin sister went missing and there are still no clues as to what happened.......more

Goodreads review by Cassie on August 12, 2017

This was an uncorrected proof so there were obviously some typos and some minor edits that need to be made. The reason it's a 4 instead of a 5 is that the version I read is not the final version. The overall story is good and you'll never expect it to evolve the way it does after reading the first c......more

Its been a year since Payton's twin sister, Dylan, disappeared from a bus station bathroom. Despite her best efforts, Payton still hasn't been able to recall anything that happened the day Dylan vanished, and lately she's been struggling to keep up her perfect popular-girl persona. When another girl goes missing, new information is unearthed about Dylan's disappearance, and Payton is determined to get to the bottom of it. As she unravels the secrets surrounding Dylan and others in their small town, Payton finds herself going down a darker and more dangerous path than she could have ever imagined. Though the pacing starts slow, it accelerates as more and more clues mount. Despite the pacing problems, Madison (an established actress) and Miller are able to realistically portray southern culture, especially of life in a small town. The characters--and, of course, the twist at the end--make this book one that fans of mystery and drama will definitely enjoy. -- Amanda Shepard Booklist
