A very well written book
My daughter saw this book at her school book fair. And this is the first book she has actually read from cover to cover. It was so good that I even downloaded the audiobook and listened to it at work, and loved it myself. It is well written, engaging, and keeps you guessing until the end of the book on who did the crime.

Fantastic read!
Girl Forgotten by, April Henry This fast-paced YA thriller pulled me in from page one and didn’t let go. Girl Forgotten dives into a haunting cold case, blending true crime vibes with emotional depth. April Henry knows how to keep the tension high—secrets unravel slowly, suspects shift, and every chapter ends with just enough suspense to make you say, “One more chapter...” The protagonist’s voice is authentic and relatable, and the mystery is layered in a way that keeps you guessing without getting lost in the details. I appreciated the focus on justice, identity, and how the past echoes into the present. If you love twisty, emotionally grounded thrillers with strong female leads, Girl Forgotten is a must-read. 📚

Great read
I especially liked when it was revealed Piper's mom wasn't really dead and the emotional strain it puts on a young girl whose mom is actually in prison. Was a great book
