The reviews on Goodreads and other blogs/sites are stellar, so I had really high hopes for this YA thriller. The twist at the end is pretty decent, but overall I had a rough time slogging through this one. Maybe I have read too many thrillers in the past 6 weeks to compare this one too. Anyways, I loved that the author portrayed, and quite honestly, a young man going through some very realistic coming of age problems. Not to mention, his girlfriend is missing and presumed dead. January was last seen leaving school and her boyfriend Flynn is the a major suspect. The mystery is told from Flynn's point of view as he pieces exactly what is happening through his own detective work and flashbacks to conversations with January. I really enjoyed Flynn, I just wanted a faster paced thrill ride.
Thanks Netgalley for providing a galley in exchange for an honest review.
