Review
If you have read A Good Girls Guide to Murder and Five Survive by Holly Jackson, you know what a ride you are in for! This was fantastic, I had no idea where it was going the entire time and was completely invested until the very last sentence. We open up to a film crew filming a documentary of the disappearance of Rachel Price. Bel is a stubborn, hard headed main character who is the daughter of Rachel Price. But when Bel runs into Rachel stumbling back into her life, 16 years after they disappeared, everything that Bel knows and loves is completely flipped upside down. The Reappearance of Rachel Price takes a deep dive into the skeletons in the closets of a family, and makes you question who you can trust.
The conclusion of this story was mind blowing and whiplash inducing. There is no way to guess what was going to happen. I loved every moment of this book, and will always pick up anything that Holly Jackson writes!
