Dylan (18yo) is used to losing time, but she thought she solved the worst of it when she stopped drinking. When she wakes up somewhere unfamiliar and calls her mom, Dylan learns she’s been missing for three days. With a doctor’s appointment, Dylan and her family hope to figure out what’s going on—but the voices in Dylan’s head want to keep her in the dark.
McLaughlin writes beautifully even with sensitive and abhorrent issues. Dylan’s story is raw and real, reaching out to suffering readers, even if they don’t hurt in the same way, for the same reasons, or with the same mental health trauma. These pages bleed love for anyone who has experienced unsavory things and highlight the strength of survival.
Dylan and her family are implied white, Connor is white, Izzy is Black, and Nisha is Indian and British. The mature content rating is for mentions of underage drinking and orgasm, masturbation, and manual and vaginal sex. The violence rating is for blood, self-harm, and attempted suicide, sexual abuse.
