This twisting narrative, which asks complex questions about power and autonomy, will keep even seasoned genre fans guessing while trusting them enough to avoid simplistic answers. (Kirkus Review)

“Following in the tradition of recent teen crime novels involving missing girls, Sweeney’s (This One's for You, 2023) latest leaves plenty to digest and discuss. In addition to a compelling story, it delivers commentary on themes such as the responsibility of girls in situations of harm and abuse, grief, and girlhood friendships. Full of intrigue and small-town politics, the book holds up a mirror to the realities many girls face in relationships with boys and men.”
