Book: The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer
Reviewed by Book Holds and Jello Molds
Rating: 3/5
I had such high hopes for this book. The Wishing Game was one of my top books of 2023, so I couldn't wait to read this one. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The premise sounds great-Rafe and Jeremy went missing for 6 months when they were teenagers with no explanation of where they'd been. Now, 15 years later, Jeremy has been hired by Emilie to find out what happened to her half-sister, who went missing in the same area Jeremy and Rafe did many years ago. This story held so much promise but it just didn't work for me. It took too long to get to the heart of the story and was very predictable. To be honest, I skimmed the last 1/3 of the book because I just wanted to be finished.
