SYNOPSIS FROM AUTHORS WEBSITE⇣
It’s been ten years since Nicolette Farrell left her rural hometown after her best friend, Corinne, disappeared from Cooley Ridge without a trace. Back again to tie up loose ends and care for her ailing father, Nic is soon plunged into a shocking drama that reawakens Corinne’s case and breaks open old wounds long since stitched.
The decade-old investigation focused on Nic, her brother Daniel, boyfriend Tyler, and Corinne’s boyfriend Jackson. Since then, only Nic has left Cooley Ridge. Daniel and his wife, Laura, are expecting a baby; Jackson works at the town bar, and Tyler is dating Annaleise Carter, Nic’s younger neighbor and the group’s alibi the night Corinne disappeared. Then, within days of Nic’s return, Annaleise goes missing.
Told backwards—Day 15 to Day 1—from the time Annaleise goes missing, Nic works to unravel the truth about her younger neighbor’s disappearance, revealing shocking truths about her friends, her family, and what really happened to Corinne that night ten years ago.
Like nothing you’ve ever read before, All the Missing Girls delivers in all the right ways. With twists and turns that lead down dark alleys and dead ends, you may think you’re walking a familiar path, but then Megan Miranda turns it all upside down and inside out and leaves us wondering just how far we would be willing to go to protect those we love.

MY THOUGHTS⇣
Ever since I first read the synopsis for this, I wondered how one would go about telling a story in reverse...I heard in my head a record playing backwards...no, it's not like that. It's a little more sophisticated than that, or complicated, I guess. I wasn't sure that it was working for me. Mostly, I felt confused and I thought I wasn't retaining any of it. But it turns out somewhere in the last twenty percent or so...I realized that maybe I was...because everything started to click. I had an a-ha moment, but honestly, after all the earlier confusion...it was an understated a-ha.
Rebekkah Ross is a decent narrator, not one of my favorites, but not one I dislike either. I think I like her better when she's part of a cast (2 or more) of narrators and not the sole narrator of the entire story.
