Dara and Nick are two sisters who once had each other's
back. Since the accident, they haven't even been on
speaking
terms. After both a young girl and Dara vanish close to
the
same time frame, Nick knows something is wrong, something
more than just her sister ignoring her as usual. As she
begins the desperate search for her sister, Nick must
discover how to connect with the sister she once knew so
well.
VANISHING GIRLS by Lauren Oliver is an exciting, edgy, and
emotional novel that grabs readers at chapter one,
launches
them in chapter two, and sends them flying through the air
the rest of the novel. Once starting, I couldn't put down
this incredible story. Oliver captures the incredibly
complex dynamic between two people, particularly sisters,
who are so close that even while hating each other, they
can't imagine their lives apart. Readers will easily grow
attached to Dara's moods, Nick's uncertainty, and immense
hurt both are trying to find a way out.
Though the romance is small side part to the story, it
also
packs a punch of feels. The love triangle is so realistic
readers will almost equally want to make kissy faces at
some
of the characters one moment and want to pull their hair
out
in anger the next. The jaw dropping ending, bittersweet
and
perfect, is sure to leave a hefty book hangover as
everything resolves itself from the small romance to the
sisters' relationship.
From a beginning of angst and love to an ending you won't
forget, VANISHING GIRLS is a perfect book to get caught up
in. Lauren Oliver shows immense talent in this young adult
suspense that will leave you begging for more of her work.
