From the critically acclaimed author of Allegedly, Tiffany D. Jackson, comes a gripping novel about the mystery of one teenage girl’s disappearance and the traumatic effects of the truth.

Monday Charles is missing, and only Claudia seems to notice. Claudia and Monday have always been inseparable—more sisters than friends. So when Monday doesn’t turn up for the first day of school, Claudia’s worried.

When she doesn’t show for the second day, or second week, Claudia knows that something is wrong. Monday wouldn’t just leave her to endure tests and bullies alone. Not after last year’s rumors and not with her grades on the line. Now Claudia needs her best—and only—friend more than ever. But Monday’s mother refuses to give Claudia a straight answer, and Monday’s sister April is even less help.

As Claudia digs deeper into her friend’s disappearance, she discovers that no one seems to remember the last time they saw Monday. How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that she’s gone?

I felt like a detective

I listen on my way to work, while at work, and driving home. I would pause to make phone calls at work or at lunch, and to even think about whats going to happen and put 2 and 2 together. I loved it

Great read!

This was a really good read - very well-written. It was suspenseful without being scary or creepy and I loved the very unexpected “twist”. I didn’t care for the narrator, however. Her inflections were odd at times. Still, I recommend this book.

Amazing!

I loved it! It kept me guessing the whole way through! I definitely recommend

suspense

I would have preferred it read by a person with a little more soul but the story was to good for me to deny it was a great read

Absolutely loved it!

From beginning to the end, it made me smile, cry, and laugh, and jerked at my heart strings. The book, Claudia and Mondays relationship gave me all the feels. You never know what someone is going through, and you'll never know that your presence gives peace to those in storms.
