YA
Thisbe has gone missing, and her sister, several friends, and law enforcement continue to search despite the community's assumption that Thisbe committed suicide. Multiple character perspectives, many containing flashbacks, sometimes make the timeline difficult to follow. But these various perspectives do make the reader privy to facts and emotional context the characters lack--revealing what really happened and ratcheting up tension as time runs out.
