Never Missing Never Found
Never Missing Never Found
By: Amanda Panitch
Book Quote:
"Even if they find the girl they this is Monica, even if the doctors give her the okay and she has pointy crimson nails and slathered-on mascara, she'll never be Monica again. She might act like her, pretend to fill her life, but she'll never be the same. That's what happens when you join the club."
-Chapter 2, pg 29

Library Cat Rating: 😺
VERDICT this is a really creative idea for a story that I wish had been written in a more fulfilling way. It was a struggle to get through 90% of this book and then I was hooked in the last 30 pages. That is where the big twist is revealed and I will admit I did not see it coming. I would recommend to teens (13 and up) who are interested in thrillers with a twist, although there are other books I would recommend before this one (see recommendations at bottom).
