SYNOPSIS FROM AUTHORS WEBSITE⇣
When Nico Walker's older sister mysteriously disappears, her parents, family, and friends are devastated. But Nico can never admit what she herself feels: relief at finally being free of Sarah's daily cruelties.
Then the best and worst thing happens: four years later, after dozens of false leads, Sarah is found.
But this girl is much changed from the one Nico knew. She's thin and drawn, where Sarah had been golden and athletic; timid and unsure, instead of brash and competitive; and strangest of all, sweet and kind, when she had once been mean and abusive. Sarah's retrograde amnesia has caused her to forget almost everything about her life, from small things like the plots of her favorite books and her tennis game to the more critical—where she's been the last four years and what happened at the park on the fateful day she vanished. Despite the happy ending, the dark details of that day continue to haunt Nico, and it becomes clear that more than one person knows the true story of what happened to Sarah. . . .

MY THOUGHTS⇣
Told in alternating POV's between Nico and Sarah...Nico in the now and Sarah in the past leading up to the now. The narration, by both Erin Spencer and Arielle Delisle, was a win-win and performed swimmingly by both narrators.
A different take on the missing/kidnapped formula that may have taken the easy way, but may have also done it to keep everything a PG rating and suitable for younger readers. I sort of saw the way it was going but I also think it was done intentionally that way. It isn't a story told for the purpose of blowing your mind with the unforeseen twist. It's more a story of perseverance or the tenacity of the living to keep on doing so, and maybe make their world a place that they can live in. It was maybe done a little too subtly; for everyone else to see...or, maybe I'm giving it more credit than it deserves.
