Thanks to Grand Central Publishing for the copy of this book!

Jessica and Nina think they see their missing sister Ruthy - now going by Ruby - on a reality TV show. Over four POVs, the three sisters and their mom, we get the story of Ruthy's disappearance in the 90s through years later when the family believes they found her again. This story is full of Puerto Rican culture, 90s references, and New York City life.

I was intrigued by the storyline centering around the problem of so many unsolved cases of missing Black and brown girls balanced with humor, but I didn’t feel like that was a super accurate description of this book. I didn’t find it humorous, and the missing person story wasn’t quite as front and center as the general family drama until the very end when they finally went to go see if they could get Ruthy back. Overall, an interesting premise.

Read if you:
- listened to Waterfalls and used to shop at Wet Seal
- love a story with a loud and crazy family
- want Puerto Rican rep in a story
- love an NYC setting
