Vanishing Girls

Meh. The twist is obvious from the get-go. I would have preferred that it leaned into the mystery of Madeline more, while Nick actually dealt with the death of her sister. It could have been an interesting story, having Nick learn more about Dara's secret life at Beamers while slowing piecing together that Madeline's "abduction" is related, all while Nick deals with grief. Her relationship with Parker could have added that extra layer of guilt, too. But instead we get split personality because of course.

Overall, a 1.5/5, rounded up because Lauren Oliver generally keeps things at the very least somewhat compelling.
