I LOVED THIS BOOK. I COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN.

Lauren was adopted when she was three. When she asks her parents about her past, they refuse to tell her, leading her to investigate for herself. But when she stumbles across a website for missing children and finds a picture of a three-year-old girl named Martha Lauren Purditt, Lauren begins to investigate all the possibilities about her past. 

I would definitely recommend this book because its page turning, very fast paced and has short chapters. It also shows what true friendship looks like.

Sooo this book I LOVED it! Such an easy and quick read finished it under 1,5 days the only reason why i didn’t give it 5 stars is bc it is really unrealistic I do love it tho. It’s so different and there happened a lot overal great!

This book is so gripping that I literally could not put it down. I finished it in the span of a day, and during the day, I kept wondering about who was Lauren's biological parents, who each character really was, and what will happen next. Lauren is such a strong and determined character, and I love her best friend, Jam! I was gripped in from the very first chapter, and at the end of each chapter, you are just dying to find out what happens next, and there are many twists and turns in the books. This is a great mystery/thriller book and is such an enjoyable read! Girl, Missing was an unpredictable, suspenseful book which I highly recommend. I am definitely reading the next books.

This book holds such a special place in my heart. It's the book that made me realise that reading can be a truly emotional, all encompassing experience. Despite this being my three millionth reread, it was the first time I've reread it since I was about 11 and it was such a fun experience. It's heart/pounding, page-turning, brilliantly gripping and I 100% understand why I devoured it at ten years old. I definitely found some problems with it that I unsurprisingly hadn't spotted ten years ago but there's nothing in me that could give this anything less than 5/5 stars. I owe it too much and adore it too much.
