Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads:

The community of Cryer's Cross, Montana (population 212) is distraught when high school freshman Tiffany disappears without a trace. Already off-balance due to her OCD, 16-year-old Kendall is freaked out seeing Tiffany's empty desk in the one-room school house, but somehow life goes on ... until Kendall's boyfriend Nico also disappears, and also without a trace. Now the town is in panic. Alone in her depression and with her OCD at an all-time high, Kendall notices something that connects Nico and Tiffany: they both sat at the same desk. She know it's crazy, but Kendall finds herself drawn to the desk, dreaming of Nico and wondering if maybe she, too, will disappear ... and whether that would be so bad. Then she begins recieving graffiti messages on the desk from someone who can only be Nico. Can he possibly be alive somewhere? Where is he? And how can Kendall help him? The only person who believes her is Jacian, the new guy she finds irritating ... and attractive. As Kendall and Jacian grow closer, Kendall digs deeper into Nico's mysterious disappearance only to stumble upon some ugly - and deadly - local history. Kendall is about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried.

Review:

This book is along with all of the other Lisa McMann books is really a quick read. Her books always have an interesting plot and occasionly characters. This ARC copy of this book was part of a contest that I won. This book had a really fast moving plot and such a weird ending. I like how Kendall, the main character, had OCD, but Lisa McMann writes in third point of view, so you really don't get to see into her head to see just how an OCD person feels. This story was really interesting. I liked how the ending was, but this book only got three out of five stars. It did because it was just an okay book that didn't land into a favorite catergory. I really liked (okay I just liked the uniqueness of the how the people disappeared and why), but I for some reason like books that are that creepy. If you have read it please tell me if you agree on how Nico and Tiffany disappeared and what they did. I definately recommend to read this book (it has only around 230 pages with very large font). It only took 2 hours, and if I was reading this same book that had 200 pages added on or more with the same plot and everything I wouldn't recommend. Yep, this is my review. Thanks for reading this, and have a great day that is full of reading.
