Lights. Camera. Lies.
Eighteen-year-old Bel has lived her whole life in the shadow of her mom’s mysterious disappearance. Sixteen years ago, Rachel Price vanished and young Bel was the only witness, but she has no memory of it. Rachel is gone, long presumed dead, and Bel wishes everyone would just move on.
But the case is dredged up from the past when the Price family agrees to a true crime documentary. Bel can’t wait for filming to end, for life to go back to normal. And then the impossible happens. Rachel Price reappears, and life will never be normal again.
Rachel has an unbelievable story about what happened to her. Unbelievable, because Bel isn’t sure it’s real. If Rachel is lying, then where has she been all this time? And—could she be dangerous? With the cameras still rolling, Bel must uncover the truth about her mother, and find out why Rachel Price really came back from the dead . . .
From world-renowned author Holly Jackson comes a mind-blowing masterpiece about one girl’s search for the truth, and the terror in finding out who your family really is.

i think this should have been a little bit shorter bc it felt like it kinda lost its pacing at some point and never got it back, just meandered for a bit
all in all it was still a very carefully crafted mystery and i liked seeing the protagonist uncover every secret!
I thought this was really fun and bingeable. Rating got bumped down because some parts were super far-fetched (especially the ending) and only one twist grandpa being involvedsurprised me. But overall a solid YA thriller. It felt fun and fresh and not super juvenile. A rare find for me.
