With so many twisted turns, some seemed quickly patched holes because they weren't fleshed out and others were unsatisfying. It took a while to pull me in, but it kept me entertained while it constantly misdirected me. I have mixed feelings about the ending, but I would still describe it as a good 3.5 star read.

Caroline2 Same!! I don‘t understand all the hype around this one. 🤷‍♀️ 7h

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn‘t just any thirteen-year-old: she‘s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region‘s residents. And this isn‘t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara‘s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago

EadieB never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore‘s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore‘s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet. This is a very good read. One child goes missing in 1961 and another goes missing in 1975. 2d
EadieB Both of them are from the Van Laar family who are owners of the camp. The story has multiple characters, scenarios and suspects. The setting is the Adirondacks. If you like stories about being lost in the woods then you would love this book. Highly recommended.

I am personally offended by everyone who didn‘t put this book in S tier for the year. It was very good, no notes. The mood of the story was very “getting lost in the woods” which was the goal I believe.

One bookmark to note the day‘s progress and one bookmark to note yesterday‘s progress 💁🏽‍♀️

Liz Moore hasn‘t disappointed me yet.

A thirteen year old girl disappears from a summer camp, the camp owned by her own wealthy family. Her brother disappeared many years earlier and was never found.

I suspected several different people throughout the book, and was satisfied at the end.

This was my #doublespin for December @TheAromaofBooks 🙂📚♥️

Leftcoastzen One of the best I read this year . Nice review! 3w
DogMomIrene Satisfying resolution for sure. I predicted one plot twist, that I think Moore was intentionally setting up as like a giveaway, and one was like “Whoa! Excellent!” 3w
AmyG I am glad you enjoyed this. One of my favorites of this year. 3w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3w

I liked this quite a bit, though not sure it was as great as all the hype led me to believe. But I did find myself anxious to return to it every time I set it aside, so there‘s that.

What a page turner! Really heartbreaking, but redemptive in the end. Well described characters
