Not What I Was Expecting, But Still Good

Nothing has been the same for July Fielding since the summer before senior year.

She had her loyal best friend, Alex, who always had her back. She had Sydney, who pushed her during every cross country run and sometimes seemed like she knew July better than she knew herself. And she had Sam, who took her breath away and told her she was everything.

Now, July is alone. Every single person has disappeared in the small town of Lithia. No Sam. No Alex or Sydney. No family. July's only clues at solving the mystery of their disappearance is a series of objects, each one reminding her of the people she loved the most, and a mysterious message: GET TH3M BACK.

This turned out to be less of a mystery/thriller than I thought it was going to be but I still really enjoyed it. The underlying message was really great and it resonated with me because it hit very close to home.
