Tania Kalsi

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.
