The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson follows Bel Price. Bel is the daughter of Rachel Price, who went missing 16 years prior. The Price family is participating in a documentary about the disappearance of Rachel Price. During the making of the documentary Rachel Price returns. I didn't really care for Bel at the beginning of the book, but as the story unfolds, I started to understand her actions and decisions more. The beginning of the book felt slow and I had a hard time staying engaged in the story, but around the 60% mark it picked up and as things were wrapping up I was fully engaged and didn't want to put the book down. The ending took this book from a 3 star read to a four star read for me. I liked the documentary/true crime aspect of the book.

Read this book if you like:
*true crime/documentary plot
*unreliable characters
*family secrets/ dysfunctional family dynamics
*lies and deception
*mother daughter relationships
