Book Type: Mass Market Paperback

Well written. This book unravels a mystery surrounding the disappearance of two teenage sisters by using first person narration from a half dozen characters switching between the present and various flashbacks in time. Each chapter adds a little more to the story.

Lippman explores family relationships and adolescence in a very raw, real way.

Not the mystery escapism I was looking for.
