I’m glad this book mentioned, Looking for Alaska because it gave me strong vibes of that book.
Chloe Green’s mothers moved from California to Alabama four years ago. She has been attending Willowgrove Christian Academy where she hopes to be the valedictorian. The only person standing in her way is Shara Wheeler, who happens to be the principal’s daughter.
One night close to graduations, Shara kisses Chloe and vanishes.
While hunting for answers, Chloe learns she was not the only one that Shara kissed that day. She also kissed her boyfriend, Smither and her next-door neighbor, Rory. Let’s hope they all don’t get mono!
Chloe, Smith, and Rory form an alliance that finds that Shara has left cryptic notes behind. It’s like a strange scavenger hunt trying to learn why Shara disappeared and where she might be. The trio go are off and hunting, uncovering notes, while asking questions and getting some answers.
I listened to the audio book and thought the narrator did a good job. I enjoyed the book and the hunt for clues. What I enjoyed more was the growing friendships between Smith, Rory, and Chloe. The characters are quirky, snarky, fun, and interesting. We learn more about each as the book progresses.
So why did Shara go missing? Read/listen to find out. I will say that this was the weakest part of the book for me. With the friendships and growth of the trio being the strong parts. Chloe was a little annoying at times for me, but I got passed that as her character grew.
Thank you to Macmillan Audio, Macmillan Young Listeners and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
