ARC Review: I Hope You're Listening

 


I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

Ten years ago, Dee saw her best friend, Sibby, abducted, but any information she could give the police wasn't enough to find her missing friend. Now Dee is "The Seeker", anonymously hosting one of the most popular true crime podcasts. Radio Silent tackles cases of missing people, and Dee's listeners become investigators working to find those who are lost. 

Now, another neighborhood girl has gone missing, but Dee is torn about covering her case for the podcast. People are starting to link this  new case with Sibby's, and Dee has to decide how much she wants answers and how much she wants anonymity. 

Of course, I was immediately hooked by the main character being a true crime podcast host, and transcripts of the fictional podcasts being included in the book. The podcast was almost a character in itself, and is absolutely crucial to the plot. The romantic relationship between Dee and Sarah feels realistic and grounded, and I like that it is not a source of drama, but a source of strength. The twists and turns are really great, and the ending solutions really pack a punch.

I would definitely recommend this book. I got completely caught up in it and could not put it down.
