Thank you to Netgalley and Delacorte Press for the opportunity to read and review The Reappearance of Rachel Price early.

4.5/5

Description: Bel (Annabel) Price has grown up in the shadow of her mother's strange disappearance. Why? Because she was with her mom when her mom disappeared. Bel was only 2, so she has no memory of what happened. 16 years later, Bel's dad agrees to let a documentary crew create a story about the disappearance. What nobody is expecting is for Rachel to come back. Where has Rachel been? How was she able to come back? Bel doesn't trust this woman who's been gone for 16 years and comes back without a clear explanation. Can Bel figure out what happened to Rachel, before something happens to Bel?

The good:
- The pacing was extremely well done. I did not want to put it down.
- The mystery and concept felt fresh. I could not predict a thing and having a documentary crew following the story was a great touch to the perspectives you get in this story.
- I appreciated Bel as a main character. You felt like you were right by her side the entire time.
- The cast of characters you meet are unique and everyone has a secret that you can't wait to uncover.

The loss of a half star:
- There is just one plot point where it felt wrapped up too fast? I just didn't understand the choice based on what we know about the character and I have lingering questions regarding this point, which I don't like to have with standalone. 

Overall, if you're looking for your next fast paced, YA mystery standalone, you MUST pick this up!
