Believe or not this is Holly Jackson's first novel and for a debut book, it's pretty amazing. It has a gripping plot that will keep you reading until the very last page and the characters are quite well developed.
Pippa lives in the small town of Kilton and for her EPQ (Extended Project Qualification), she's is researching the disappearance of Andie Bell, a local girl who went missing five years ago and is thought to be dead. Pippa is a strong young woman with an uncanny sense of humour, who won't give up easily. In her quest for the truth, she's helped by Ravi, whose brother was accused of killing Andie. A young man whose life was turned upside down by the events.
Don't expect a book about two teenagers running around asking stupid questions and finding the truth by sheer chance, this novel is much deeper than that. You'll read about picture-perfect girls and families who are not what they seem, about how quick we are when we judge somebody and how important it is to trust your instincts.
I strongly recommend this novel to fans of YA novels and to readers who see beyond appearances.
