August of 1999
Clarissa Campbell a pretty and popular cheerleader left a party and was never seen again. There have been theories and there have been suspicions but her disappearance has remained a mystery and the case went cold.
Twenty years later
Blair and Cameron are high school juniors and best friends. They start a true crime podcast and are focused on learning what happened to Clarissa Campbell. They interview those who were in Clarissa’s life and in the process, uncover some secrets. They look at her relationship with her boyfriend and her art teacher….
I found this to be a fast read and enjoyed how Cam and Blair worked on their podcase while also looking inward at themselves and who they were. The mystery of what happened to Clarissa is at the forefront.
I couldn’t help but shake my head a few times at the actions that are taken in this book. Does no one care about consequences or think before acting???? Impulse issues overload!
This was a solid YA mystery/thriller which kept my attention. But with all the podcast books out there, will I remember this in months to come? I’m not sure.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, Wednesday Books 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.
