After Zan's best friend moves to California, she is baffled and crushed when Priya suddenly ghosts. Worse, Priya's social media has turned into a stream of ungrammatical posts chronicling a sunny, vapid new life that doesn't sound like her at all.
Everyone tells Zan not to be an idiot: Let Priya do her reinvention thing and move on. But until Zan hears Priya say it, she won't be able to admit that their friendship is finished.
It's only when she meets Logan, the compelling new guy in Spanish class, that Zan begins to open up about her sadness, her insecurity, her sense of total betrayal. And he's just as willing as she is to throw himself into the investigation when everyone else thinks her suspicions are crazy.
Then a clue hidden in Priya's latest selfie introduces a new, deeply disturbing possibility:
Maybe Priya isn't just not answering Zan's emails.
Maybe she can't.
My Review:
I really had a great time reading this book! At first it seems like a contemporary, but then you get to the part where Priya's actions aren't maybe what she wants to do, and it adds in a mystery thriller element that I absolutely loved reading!
Zan and Priya were best friends. But Priya moves to California, and it looks like the friendship has died. But Zan doesn't believe that, what Priya is showing is not her. And it turns out that Zan is right, which definitely takes this book in some weird directions.
I really enjoyed Zan and Logan together, he's a support as Zan is dealing with this whole situation, and I really enjoyed their relationship. Their banter was just top notch and added a level of levity that was needed for an otherwise pretty serious book.
Loved how that all wrapped up, it was so entertaining, and it's just so hard to imagine what happened, happening in real life. But it was so great, and I just really enjoyed this story, that at its center, was the story of female friendship, and I really loved it!
This was a fantastic read and I'd love to read more by Katy Loutzenhiser!
