I picked this up from the library as I loved the cover and then I read the synopsis and I had to figure out the ending.....boy was I surprised!They’re ghosts and they are visiting Lauren and telling her their story. Why Lauren? Could it be because she will be turning 17 soon and she is the only one ...

I spent most of this book confused. Like the main character, I wasn't sure what was going on or what was going to happen next. And then it all came together. It's unfortunate that discussing how it all came together is a huge spoiler because it's such an important topic, but luckily, Nova Ren Suma a...

3.5Not mind-blowing/awesome enough for four stars but definitely demands more than 3 stars.While I can tell you a host of things I liked about this book, I can't exactly pinpoint what I didn't.

You don’t get what you think you’re going to get, but wait a beat and what you get is… equally as good as how things were laid out.

I was really unsure of this book when I first started. It was kinda slow for me in the beginning, however, it picked up the pace as more missing girls were being introduced. I was not prepared at all for the ending of this book as it took an unexpected turn. The whole time you wonder how is Lauren s...

17 & Gone surprised me. I went into it thinking it was one kind of book and it turned into something unexpected. The language is lush, the descriptions vivid, and the pacing is slow.It might have started when Lauren sees the Missing poster for Abby Sinclair. It might have started years earlier when ...

I don't really even know where to begin with this review. 4 days later and I am still feeling conflicted. There is no denying that Nova Ren Suma can write. It's impressive. Her voice and word weaving is something that needs to be read to be understood. But...there are those books that everybody love...

Seventeen-year-old Lauren is having visions of girls who have gone missing. And all these girls have just one thing in common-they are 17 and gone without a trace. As Lauren struggles to shake these waking nightmares, impossible questions demand urgent and immediate answers. Why are the girls speaki...
