WHO
WHO begins with the abrupt disappearance of Kaia Ingram, the inaugural member of Philadelphia’s August Girls—a puzzling group of young ladies that have gone missing near the end of each subsequent summer. As the fifth anniversary looms, Maura Sterling is waking up and reveling in her newfound empty nest now that her twins, Soleil and Selene, have moved to the city to start their journalism careers after graduating college. Just as Maura musters the strength to get prepared for a busy day ahead, there is a startling and unexpected knock. Nervously, she cracks open her front door and is shocked to find a pair of detectives who have come with a purpose—to share the news that her girls, too, may have vanished.
From there, a small circle of characters known by the Sterling family add to the murkiness of the already convoluted cases tied to each of the August Girls. As the investigation heats up, will Maura and those detectives be able to find her daughters before it’s too late? Through their work, might they get any closer to learning what has happened to the others? Who, ultimately, has done this?

It's different in the way of writing style.
The story itself is intriguing and does take you through different stages of the abductions.
You do get the past and present between the sisters and the mom.
The ending I didn't expect.

I never know how to review thriller/mystery type books without spoilers so please bear with my vagueness.
It took me a few chapters to really grasp the formatting of this book, but when I did, and I piece it all together. Genius. I loved how it was and don’t think it should have been any other way. Getting the stories of the other Girls was perfect to keep you invested on the main plot line. And I know it was thriller but I truly did not know what to expect for an ending so it was so easy to keep reading to have to know what was gonna happen. Truly intrigued by this series and what’s to come.

From the very first page, I was completely hooked and couldn't put it down. The author weaves a story so captivating that I found myself reading long into the night, desperate to find out what would happen next. So excited for the next book to come out in this series!

4.5 stars. Ending not as shocking as I expected reading the reviews. A few unanswered questions nagging me. Good read

BTCHHHH the ending!!!!! My jaw was on the floor. This book is SO GOOD. I kept guessing who throughout reading because you get more and more details from everyone’s different perspectives and I did not expect that ending. 10/10 would recommend, I wish I could read it again for the first time. So mad I have to wait for the next book in the series to come out, but after reading this first one, I know it will be wellll worth the wait!

After winning WHAT? on Goodreads I was looking forward to purchasing WHO?. Once again the story is set in Philadelphia and focuses on the fifth anniversary of the missing "August Girls"; women who have gone missing near the end of every summer. This book is an engaging thriller from start to finish.

DNF @ 7%. The writing is no good. It’s clunky, awkward, and overly descriptive to the point of being exhausting to read. Every sentence feels like it’s trying too hard to impress, drowning the reader in unnecessary detail and leaving no room for imagination.

The idea behind this book and series is much better than the execution. Structure of it didn't bother me but the writing did. Among other things, the dialog doesn't ring true

The pacing and structure of this book are captivating, leaving you eager to read more. The author skillfully transitions between characters with each chapter, maintaining clarity and ensuring the story never becomes confusing. I’m excited to see what comes next in the series!
