"Don't even think of leaving...I will find you," he whispered. "Guaranteed."
I have a confession. I cheated.
So, I'm always giving my one friend a hard time be
Sara and her mom have a plan to finally escape Sara's abusive father. But when her mom doesn't show up as expected, Sara's terrified. Her father says that she's on a business trip, but Sara knows he's lying. Her mom is missing--and her dad had something to do with it. Each day that passes, Sara's more on edge. Her friends know that something's wrong, but she won't endanger anyone else with her secret. And with her dad growing increasingly violent, Sara must figure out what happened to her mom before it's too late...for them both.

Sometimes the end is just the beginning.
Gabby lived under the radar until her makeover. Way under. But when she started her senior year as a blonder, better-dressed version of herself, she struck gold: Billy Nash believed she was a the flawless girl she was pretending to be. The next eight months with Billy were bliss...Until the night Gabby woke up on the ground next to the remains of his BMW without a single memory of how she got there.
And Billy's nowhere to be found.

And Billy's nowhere to be found.
All Gabby wants is to make everything perfect again. But getting her life back isn't difficult, it's impossible. Because nothing is the same, and Gabby's beginning to realize she's missed more than a few danger signs along the way.
It's time for Gabby to face the truth, even if it means everything changes.
Especially if it means everything changes.

I've been hearing some great things about this book, but I've been on edge about whether or not I actually want to read it. But your review has just convinced me! I love books that are so good that you feel like you need to read the last page, just to know what happens!
Can't wait to read this book, thanks for the review!
You what is so funny? When I read paper copies of books, I cheat ALL THE TIME! I always flip to the back page to see if they are going to end up together, etc. But now that I am reading more and more books on my kindle its much harder to just flip to the back of the book, so I find that I'm not cheating as much. lol
Thanks for the great review, this is the first I am hearing about this book and now I really want to check it out.
