Review of Where I Left Her by Amber Garza

 I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

A spine-tingling new thriller about a mother’s worst nightmare come true, when her teenage daughter goes to a sleepover and doesn’t come back.

Whitney had some misgivings when she dropped her increasingly moody teenage daughter, Amelia, off at Lauren’s house. She’d never met the parents, and usually she’d go in, but Amelia clearly wasn’t going to let something so humiliating happen, so instead Whitney waved to her daughter before pulling away from the little house with the roses in front.

But when she goes back the next day, an elderly couple answers the door—Amelia and Lauren aren’t there, and this couple swears they never were, that she’s at the wrong house. As Whitney searches for Amelia, she uncovers a trail of lies her daughter has told her—from the Finsta account to rumors of a secret relationship. Does she really even know this girl she’s raised? And Amelia’s not the only one with secrets. Could Whitney’s own demons have something to do with her daughter’s disappearance, and can Whitney find her before it’s too late?

My Review:

5 Stars

Amber Garza has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her stories are always amazing and have the ability to completely submerse you. 

Whitney experiences every parent's worst nightmare when her child goes missing. It would be one thing if she had just been missing, but Whitney knows where she dropped her child off. Even if the current occupants state otherwise. As

Whitney how has to try and start unraveling the secrets in her daughter's life. A task that is difficult given all the online avenues they can pursue. When Whitney starts getting closer to the truth she starts to fear that her past indiscretions are catching up with her. 

A twisting and turning story that had me guessing right up until the end. Would highly recommend this as your next read.
