Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for gifting me the latest thriller by a favorite, Nicole Baart - 4.5 stars rounded up!
When a photo that Charlie took of her daughter, Eva, goes viral and Eva is having trouble at school, they make a decision to hit the road in a renovated Airstream and document it all on Instagram. They are soon trending as they make their way across the country. As Eva gets older and college looms, they decide to settle back home and Eva starts public high school for the first time. When the two take a boat onto Lake Superior one afternoon, Charlie wakes up and discovers that Eva is gone. Soon the authorities think she knows more than she is saying.
This is a wonderful mother-daughter relationship story at heart, with Eva anxious to spread her wings and Charlie holding on even tighter. When Eva is missing and the investigation begins, Charlie learns that she might not have known Eva as well as she thought. Told in various POV from both Charlie and Eva as well as through Instagram posts and Eva's college essays, which give you a glimpse behind the social media spotlight. I never expected the turn of events and was glued to the pages to find out what happened. Be sure to stick around and read the very important author's note. Highly recommended!
