Review for All The Missing Girls by Megan Miranda


Like the spellbinding psychological suspense in The Girl on the Train and Luckiest Girl Alive, Megan Miranda’s novel is a nail-biting, breathtaking story about the disappearances of two young women—a decade apart—told in reverse.

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 3.5 star review

This read was very inviting and there were some parts that had me jumping. There were also some parts that made it hard to sleep at night

This is definitely a thriller, that is for sure. I was thinking I knew who the killer was this whole time but boy was I wrong.

Then this read has you thinking if we are all monsters on the inside and how many people do you know that are covering one heck of a lie.

I didn't like the end of this read. I felt like it was very Gone Girl. But then again I loved to hate that book because of the ending.

I will say that Tyler and David gave me the creeps times 10. Laura is a beast, at least I think so. She does what she has to do for her family.

The one character that my heart broke for was Everett, he could of made her so happy. I mean he was willing to do this but I feel like she will never really be happy.

I wanted this book to turn out completely different. I was definitely a fast read because these words will drawl you in.

While reading this book Monster by Eminem kept playing in my head...
