The author does an amazing job showing how deeply friendship can impact someone's life and how painful it can feel when someone important suddenly disappears.

I think this book is incredibly impactful because it highlights issues that are often ignored. The mystery keeps readers interested, but the emotional message behind the story is what made it stand out. The plot twists were shocking, and the ending stayed with me long after finishing the book. I would recommend this novel to teens who enjoy emotional mysteries with important social themes. I also appreciated how realistic the friendship between Claudia and Monday felt because it showed how deeply friendships can affect people’s lives. The friendship between Claudia and Monday felt so incredibly genuine, which made the emotional moments even more heartbreaking. The story is emotional and heartbreaking at times, but it encourages readers to pay more attention to the struggles others may be facing. I would recommend this book to teens who enjoy emotional mysteries that also address important real world issues.
