heads up, this is a short story/prequel to the book pretty girls. You should definitely read pretty girls before reading this book though.

Feel bad rating this so low because I get the topic she is addressing is important but lord i did not enjoy this. Might be because i went in expecting a mystery and thats not what this is but I also just couldnt stand the main character or the pacing. Not a fan.

All the low reviews fail to understand that this is a novella prequel to Pretty Girls. It is now included at the end of the audio version of Pretty Girls and is the perfect time to read it - right after finishing the main novel. If you enjoyed Pretty Girls this is a wonderful little addition to give you Julia's POV. It was a perfect little addition.

Me doeu ler a história de Julia sabendo como que ia acabar. Eu li a última frase com um aperto no peito. Mas eu adorei ler um pouco mais sobre o relacionamento entre as irmãs e sobre a própria Julia, que no Pretty Girls a gente só conhece pela recordação de outras pessoas.

A good character development piece for Julia and prequel to Pretty Girls, though I read it afterwards and it still was helpful for understanding show the sisters were before Julia went missing.
