I asked for amazing YA thriller recs 2 weeks ago and someone told me to read this. I don't remember who rec'd it on Goodreads because I can't find the old post, but it was amazing -thank you!!! Started slow and I wasn't sure I'd enjoy, but around 25% it picked up and I binge read in one night. Good romance, strong mystery, creepy, and totally kept me guessing!UPDATE: 5/5/15I was excited about this book before 2014. So of course I read it after a full year of it's release.Idiot. *hits self*As for my rating- it's not that good a book.I had issues with characterization, and some of the actions of the MC, and a bit of the writing.But fuck that shit. I cannot think objectively when someone wrote the book my 5th grade self would've writtenContext: My 5th grade self was AWESOME and **really** into murder mysteries.Seriously though, the murder chase in this
Oh. My. Gosh!!! It was so good! I loved the writing and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! I didn't want to put it down for a second! Nearly (strange name, but I loved her character!) was unassuming and very bright. She's set her sights on the junior scholarship so that she has money to pay for college and get out of Sunny View. She's also looking in the personals for a message from her dad who left her and her mom 5 years ago. But she comes across these stange ads that seem to
3.5/5 starsspoiler-freeThis book was a quick, easy read of mystery. I enjoyed the characters and the plot was generally consistent. Contemporary mysteries are not my usual genre of book; I tend to lean toward the action based novels, so it did not earn full stars for me. At times, I found myself resisting the urge to scream at the characters for various reasons. First of all, who names their kid "Nearly"?! I found it a bit strange. Sometimes Nearly clearly didn't use her head, and that got to
Originally, I was going to give it 2.5 stars, but I'm feeling generous and the ending was good.So 3 stars.Now, I know what some of you are thinking. If you've been keeping up with my updates with this book, you would know how much I didn't like Nearly and her stupid decisions. And I didn't, believe me. I've never met a more stupid character in my life. But I'll get to that in a bit. For now, let me talk about Nearly Gone.Mind you, this book will not be for everyone so if you decide to check it
Review also posted at Young Adult Hollywood.I never planned on picking this book up, but I bought a bulk of Young Adult books and it was right there. I was bored then things happened. Like me, falling in love with almost every aspect of this book.From someone who binged watched nine seasons of Criminal Minds on one month, I know the premise of Nearly Gone sound so banal for YA, but it is not entirely. Cosimano perfectly stringed the suspense element of the book with a believable world
If Id spent more time studying instead of chasing after a boy, we wouldnt be here. Well, then!This book makes me angry. I'm getting pretty damn sick of these books that tells girls that it's ok to love and trust a potential killer/sociopath if he secretly (very, very secretly) has a heart of gold. It tells the reader that it's fine to forgive every fucking thing stalker/lover boy does if, you know, he's just doing it for your own fucking good. What the fucking kind of victim-blaming apologetic
