DON'T TRY TO FIND ME

Suspense

If you like GONE GIRL, you will love DON'T TRY TO FIND ME.

Marley is not happy with her life. Her parents argue all the time and she is just sick about it. Marley has met several people on line. She especially connects with B. Marley and B decide it is time to meet up. Marley leaves her parents a message on the chalk board with the simple words DON'T TRY TO FIND ME.

Marley's parents are beside themselves. Her mother checks, but cellphones and Facebook are wiped clean. The police are called and they are trying to figure out if this is a run away, or if there is something else behind this.

Holly Brown's novel is one of those books that you keep wondering what is going on in this family. Why would a 14-year-old girl leave the comfort of her home to meet up with someone online? Holly Brown takes you behind the scenes. What was really going on in this family?

Holly Brown puts you in the mind frame of a 14-year-old. Could this book be based on a true story? We hear in the news everyday about people online either trying to set up a meeting with a child. I'm always glad to hear when the police catch those kinds of people. Holly Brown also tells of what can happen in a family that has secrets. Could these secrets ruin a family? You wouldn't think that a 14-year-old would have so many problems that they can't deal with.

On a side note, the local paper every week lists the must-read books. DON'T TRY TO FIND ME was listed in the top ten books to read. I agree.

SUMMARY

When a fourteen-year-old runs away, her parents turn to social media to find herβ€”launching a public campaign that will expose their darkest secrets and change their family forever, in this suspenseful and gripping debut for fans of Reconstructing Amelia and Gone Girl. Don’t try to find me. Though the message on the kitchen white board is written in Marley’s hand, her mother Rachel knows there has to be some other explanation. Marley would never run away. As the days pass and it sinks in that the impossible has occurred, Rachel and her husband Paul are informed that the police have β€œlimited resources.” If they want their fourteen-year-old daughter back, they will have to find her themselves. Desperation becomes determination when Paul turns to Facebook and Twitter, and launches FindMarley.com. But Marley isn’t the only one with secrets. With public exposure comes scrutiny, and when Rachel blows a television interview, the dirty speculation begins. Now, the blogosphere is convinced Rachel is hiding something. It’s not what they think; Rachel would never hurt Marley. Not intentionally, anyway. But when it’s discovered that she’s lied, even to the police, the devoted mother becomes a suspect in Marley’s disappearance. Is Marley out there somewhere, watching it all happen, or is the truth something far worse?
