An evocative and compelling story of two sisters who would do anything for each other—perfect for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why and Speak. Joy Preble's stirring new novel explores the lengths to which sisters go to protect each other, and the winding road that brings two strangers into each other's lives.
Sisters Leo and Paris Hollings have only ever had each other to rely on. They can't trust their mother, who hops from city to city and from guy to guy, or their gambler stepfather, who's moved them all to Las Vegas. It's just the two of them: Paris, who's always been the dreamer, and Leo, who has a real future in mind—going to Stanford, becoming a doctor, falling in love. But Leo isn't going anywhere right now, except driving around Vegas all night with her sister.
Until Paris ditches Leo at the Heartbreak Hotel Diner, where moments before they had been talking with physics student Max Sullivan. Outside, Leo finds a cryptic note from Paris—a clue. Is it some kind of game? Where is Paris, and why has she disappeared? When Leo reluctantly accepts Max's offer of help, the two find themselves following a string of clues through Vegas and beyond. But the search for the truth is not a straight line. And neither is the path to secrets Leo and Max hold inside.
I thought this book was pretty good. I thought it was well written and enjoyable. Joy did a good job on like keeping the reason of the wild goose chase a secret.
So Leo is the main character. She is trying to get into Stanford because she wants to become a doctor. She is nice, a nerd, and caring. I mean right when Paris ( her sister ) disappeared she immediately went to try to find her.
The boy that Leo meets is named Max. He is cool. He has a lot of secrets behind that smart face. He is determined, science freak, and supportive. I mean he was pretty determined to help Leo. He is a tour guide.....FOR SCIENCE. I am pretty sure he is a science freak.
I like this book. The plot was good and it excited me. Definitely a page turner for me. I loved it! I give it a 4/5.

Wait, so in the end Paris didn't go with them on the trip right? That was confusing. Where did she go then? Are they still living in Maureen's house? I hope Tommy goes to jail for what he did to Leo. It was still kind of confusing what they did. Did Tommy hurt Leo or rape Leo? I don't know. Haha that was awkward to write. It was a good book though.
I hope you enjoyed this post. I really enjoyed the book! Hope you like it!
