From the critically acclaimed author of Allegedly, Tiffany D. Jackson, comes a gripping novel about the mystery of one teenage girl’s disappearance and the traumatic effects of the truth.

Monday Charles is missing, and only Claudia seems to notice. Claudia and Monday have always been inseparable—more sisters than friends. So when Monday doesn’t turn up for the first day of school, Claudia’s worried.

When she doesn’t show for the second day, or second week, Claudia knows that something is wrong. Monday wouldn’t just leave her to endure tests and bullies alone. Not after last year’s rumors and not with her grades on the line. Now Claudia needs her best—and only—friend more than ever. But Monday’s mother refuses to give Claudia a straight answer, and Monday’s sister April is even less help.

As Claudia digs deeper into her friend’s disappearance, she discovers that no one seems to remember the last time they saw Monday. How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that she’s gone?

Slow Start, Strong Finish

This book can be a bit repetitive for a while. Once you get to the end it's so good. I had trouble putting this book down.

A Good Read

started a little slow, but it pulls you in. By the final chapters you are completely thrown for a lopp and are like WOW. I will listen again and watch the pieces fall in place.

I mourned for Monday with Claudia!

captivating, thought provoking, poetic. this story helps you think about the termination of friendship. moving.

Heartbreaking

Very emotional and thought provoking. The narration was perfect and heartfelt. I didn't see the ending coming.

Took a while to latch on. Then... Whoah!!

I loved it once I was able to grasp where I was in the story. When I did it made old parts make sense and new ones not so choppy. I"m glad I held on. Turns out, this was My kind of story.
