Review:
Even though Nicole and Dara
are sisters, they are practically best friends. That is until Dara starts
getting wild and they get into a car accident, where Nicole gets blamed. After
this, they decide to ignore each other and go on with their lives.
Thanks to their parent’s
divorce, Dara has to live with their mom and Nick with their dad. Due to constant
and unwise decisions their dad decides to send Nicole to spend some time with their
mom. They continue to ignore each other until Dara disappears during the day of
her birthday. But she isn’t the only one, a little girl, Madeline Snow, also disappeared.
Nick is desperate and she starts doing
everything in her power to find her sister. During this process, she can’t help
but think that both disappearances have something in common.
When I started reading this
book I got the impression that it was going to be a contemporary read but then
it became mysterious and thrilling. The ending of this book was OUTSANDING, I
really wasn’t expecting what happened.
Another thing I really liked
is the development of the characters and how Lauren Oliver gives us some of
Dara’s thoughts. Even though most of the book is in Nicole’s point of view, we
get an entrance to Dara’s diary.
For those of you who are wondering
if there is any romance in the book, there is some but the book is centered on
the relationship between Nicole and Dara.
This book was so much more
than I expected. Lauren Oliver never fails to amaze me, her writing style is so
beautiful and compelling, it’s almost unbelievable. I must say that this is my
favorite book from her so far. I really liked it and found it impossible to put down.
Rating:
4/5
