MY GOODREADS RATING 3/5 STARS
(Thanks to Simon & Schuster and Netgalley, I received a copy of this book to review)
GOODREADS SYNOPSIS:
"My father disappeared on a Tuesday that should’ve been like any Tuesday, but eventually became the Tuesday my father disappeared.”
“Tired of living in limbo, Callie finally decides to investigate her father’s disappearance for herself. Maybe there was an accident at the construction site that he oversaw? Maybe he doesn’t remember who he is and is lost wandering somewhere? But after seeing a familiar face in a photo from the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, she wonders if the answer is something else entirely.
Hailed by Judy Blume as a "remarkable young novelist," Kristen-Paige Madonia, author of Fingerprints of You, explores how to rebuild a life after everything seems lost.”
MY THOUGHTS:
I really liked the writing style of this book, it was quick and easy to read and the scenes flowed wonderfully. I really loved the way the flashbacks flowed beautifully, and were not confusing or out of nowhere.
Callie’s denial of her dad’s disappearance was slightly annoying at first but I guess that’s what made her more relatable as a character. I mean who really wants to believe their dad is missing. I also really enjoyed that throughout most of the book Callie wasn’t lusting over some guy. It was more about her relationships between her friends and her mom, which was a breath of fresh air in a contemporary novel.
One of my only complaints is how Callie started to get so obsessive over the past earthquake. It frustrated me when those chapters popped up. I just wasn’t very interested.
Overall this was an okay book. There was definitely more I liked about it than not. Certain aspects just weren’t for me.
