Missing Clarissa (arc)

By Ripley Jones

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Genre: YA Thriller

Thank you to Netgalley and Ripley Jones for this free arc in return for an honest review. This was a great YA thriller! If you enjoyed A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, or anything similar, you will definitely enjoy this book! The main characters Blair and Cam are well-developed, as are their supporting characters. I am biracial, half white and half Afro-Latina, so I identified a lot with Cam and Irene and their family dynamic. I loved the representation in the book, as well as some of the harder topics touched on such as prison abolition. The only critique I had was that the head-hopping(switching of character POV) was a little confusing at first, but once I became accustomed to the author’s style, it got less confusing. I know this can be an issue for a lot of readers though! Overall, great book and would definitely recommend!
