I was hooked from the beginning. The entire book is incredibly heartbreaking, but it is also fast-paced and keeps you in suspense until the end. I definitely brings awareness to abductions and sex trafficking, and I appreciated the realness and the sensitivity Charlie Donlea uses throughout the book. She really sheds a light on how the trauma affects not only the person abducted, but also their families and communities. It's a beautifully written story that entangles 2 young women and their fight for truth and justice. I will say the very last line had me screaming for one more paragraph, or even one more sentence. I would recommend and read again.
