  1. Hiya! I would love to be entered in this giveaway. The reason I have an interest in this story is due the idea that we get the point of view from the sister, whose feelings toward her brother are mixed (love because are sister/brother, dislike for ways in which they treated each other) and therefore the way she deals with him being missing will make for a fascinating read. Normally we hear from the grieving parents, but now we will hear from the daughter who likes to finally be the center of attention, even though the circumstances are sad. Just sounds like an odd book, which are the kind I like. Cheers!

  3. I wanted to read this one because of the brother aspect...my brother and I are very close and I always have an interest in how others are with their siblings. It sounds fantastic from your review!

  8. I just commented, but didn't really address why I wanted to read the book...

    First of all, it sounds intriguing. I want to know what happened!

    2nd, my 20th reunion was this year and made me think a lot about high school days. I don't miss them much! I could use another reminder of why it's not so terrible to be 35 already.

  12. I loved reading the review. This book had me intrigued just from the cover. Having grown up with 5 siblings and having four kids myself, I'm always intrigued by books with great stories about sibling relationships.
    Thanks for the giveaway~

  14. I would love to be entered. My own brother drives me crazy but I myself would go crazy if something happened to him. So the point of view I think would make for an interesting read.

  15. I think this would be an interesting read-it reminds me slightly of My Sister's Keeper.
