Don't Forget the Girl by Rebecca McKanna
4.0

Twelve years ago, Abby Hartmann disappeared amongst the victims of an active serial killer. Now, that convicted killer has been sentenced to death, and Abby’s once best friends, Bree and Chelsea, find themselves coming together for answers and to remind everyone of Abby’s name.

DON’T FORGET THE GIRL by Rebecca McKanna is a de-freakin-but!! For being a mystery, this book really packed an emotional punch and reminds the reader of the importance of remembering the victims.

Told through three POVs: Bree, Chelsea, and Abby from the past - their stories weave together in a beautiful way, creating tension while also showcasing the friendship these girls had. McKanna also popped in news, podcast, and interview transcripts, which I really enjoy in books that boast an investigative nature like this one does!

This one was difficult to read at times because of the delicate subject matter, but McKanna handled it with grace and really built some characters to fall in love with.

Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
