oh wow.
first this was such a good book, i enjoyed it thoroughly.
drew had me facepalming and saying “what made him think that was a good idea” but at the same time i can see how his despair could take over his emotions and his capability of making smart decisions so i give him a pass.
max gets the best cousin of the year award. he was down to do anything for drew no matter how ridiculous the idea was and he was the real mvp.
i had everything figured out literally after readingdrew’s first chapter LOL. everything except the very last plot twist of her actually being dead which i did start getting skeptical near the end bc madison’s memory of her mom did not seem to align with all the arguments lola had with her parents. also when madison got her memories back she mentioned remembering everything like her family and her friends. but she never mentioned her (ex) boyfriend drew? also she said she tried to run away the night she was kidnapped which didn’t align with how long lola was missing for. but the girl not being lola all along wasn’t a serious theory of mine until the end so gg.
but i figured out all the details very early on likewayne’s motive behind kidnapping her and how he was a psycho dad who couldn’t believe his real daughter is dead so he goes kidnapping girls who look like her.
autumn max and drew’s little team up was really touching though, they cared about her so much.
autumns dad can go to hell though literally the worst character besidewayne. and while we’re talking, the town people can go to hell too, switching up on drew after finding out he actually didn’t kill lola when they spent the entire time shunning him and treating him like shit.
lola actually being dead is such a sad ending, i feel so bad for drew especially how he feels guilty bc of how their last moments together played out. it’s not his fault but i get why he feels guilty. terrible ending,, not terrible in the way that it’s bad but terrible in the way that it’s not a happy ending and i hate that😭😭 but i’m appreciative of it ending like that bc it’s realistic and it hits me in my feels so it’s actually a pretty smart but sad ending.
