Wherever Nina Lies by Lynn Weingarten


Wherever Nina Lies by Lynn Weingarten
"Nina was beautiful, wild, and adored by her younger sister, Ellie. But one day, Nina disappeared. 2 years later, everyone has given up hope that Nina will return, but Ellie knows her sister is out there. If only Ellie had a clue where to look.Then she gets one, in the form of a mysterious drawing. Determined to find Nina, Ellie takes off on a crazy, sexy cross-country road trip with the only person who believes she's got a chance - her hot, adventurous new crush. Along the way, Ellie finds a few things she wasn't planning on. Like love. Lies. And the most shocking thing of all: the truth."- summary from Amazon

I really enjoyed this book; it was an amazing, thrilling ride to read about. I loved the inclusion of Nina's various drawings throughout the book, as it really made the story pop and gave me more of a connection to the characters and plotline. All the characters were really interesting and fully fleshed out, and I loved Weingarten's writing style. This book was suspenseful, funny, mysterious, and an absolute joy to read; the road trip aspect was really cool to read about and something I rarely see in YA. The twist was something I wasn't expecting, but did make sense once you thought about it, which is how it should be. It was a difficult book to put down and I went through it very quickly. Definitely a book I recommend if you're into a suspenseful road trip story.
