“Sukumar’s debut gives readers a glimpse into the harrowing world of social ostracism and the manipulation teenage girls often contend with. While it is a well-executed thriller, the book’s power is in the deep character exploration of Tanvi as a young woman finding her inner strength. Readers will be inspired by this story of resilience in the face of multiple traumas.”—Booklist
“A Pretty Little Liars-sized itch can be scratched for readers . . . [in this] heartbreaking missing person mystery.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
“This gripping psychological thriller will have readers suspecting everyone until the very last chapter . . . A quick and riveting mystery with fantastic representation.”
—Library Journal
“A perilous, unpredictable adventure that glues the reader to the pages . . . YA fiction but adult readers will find this dramatic character-driven psychological thriller equally fascinating.”
