It was a mistake to trust him.
Shivering and bruised, a teen wakes up on the side of a dirt road with no memory of how she got thereβor who she is. A passing officer takes her to the police station, and not long after, a frantic man arrives. He’s been searching for her for hours. He has her school ID, her birth certificate, and even family photos.
He is her father. Her name is Mary. Or so he says.
When Lola slammed the car door and stormed off into the night, Drew thought they just needed some time to cool off. Except Lola disappeared, and the sheriff, his friends, and the whole town are convinced Drew murdered his girlfriend. Forget proving his innocence, he needs to find her before it’s too late. The longer Lola is missing, the fewer leads there are to followβ¦and the more danger they both are in.
This book kept me hanging on until the last moment. It was very gripping. I did listen to the audiobook (and I listened nonstop). I enjoy both perspectives from Drew and Mary. Both narrators were easy to listen to. I started out preferring Mary’s chapters because I was soooo curious about what was going on with her. However, Drew’s perspective really grew on me, especially once his cousin got involved. Drew’s family was awesome and I really enjoyed the parts that mentioned them!
I think at the beginning of the book there was quite a lot of Drew just being sad. Which is, of course, understandable given his situation. His girlfriend, Lola, is missing and everyone is blaming him. But there also isn’t much going on in the early chapters from Drew’s perspective which made it a little less interesting. The early chapters with Mary definitely made up for it, though, because there was a lot going on.
Overall, I think this book was fantastic and I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking for a solid mystery to dive into.
