Anna has accepted a job as a summer nanny before going to school in the fall. Her best friend is a partier and she wants to change up that lifestyle. Her job is really easy since the little girl is great but she has the evenings off. Anna has too much time to keep herself occupied and starts exploring the grounds. The cute boy next door is confused as to why Anna looks like Zoe, who went missing at New Years Eve. Lots of people in town have made this connection. Zoey's sister has done an investigation through a podcast, trying to figure out what happed to Zoey. Its the perfect summer thriller as it alternates between then and now to figure out what happened.

I'm not a huge YA thriller fan, aside from the exception of this one and Sadie. I really enjoyed it. It didn't feel as predictable as other YAs, so I was intrigued the entire time. I'm very impressed with how good this was and the podcast element is one of my new favourite things in thrillers.

4.5/5 stars.

I recommend this as the perfect beach read and to fans of Sadie, Serial and true crime.

Sidenote: Is this not one of the most intriguing titles that you've heard for a book? It instantly made me want to pick it up.
