I have what sounds like an intriguing book to tell you about today...
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Mystery
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Synopsis:
A haunting novel about a girl who must face the consequences after her actions indirectly lead to her sister’s disappearance.
Rhylee didn’t mean to kiss her sister’s boyfriend. At least, not the first time. But it doesn’t matter, because her sister, Abby, caught them together, ran into the dark woods behind their house…and never came home.
As evidence mounts that something terrible has happened to Abby, no one wants to face the truth. Rhylee can’t bring herself to admit what she’s done: that she is the reason her sister ran away. Now Tommy, Abby’s boyfriend, is the prime suspect in her disappearance, and Rhylee’s world has been turned upside down. Slowly, Rhylee’s family is breaking—their lives center on the hope that Abby will return. Rhylee knows they need to face the truth and begin healing—but how can they, when moving on feels like a betrayal? And how do you face the guilt of wishing a person gone…when they actually disappear?
Rachele Alpine is a lover of binge watching reality TV, dogs, knitting, gummy peaches, and lots and lots of coffee!
One of her first jobs was at a library, but it didn't last long, because all she did was hide in the third-floor stacks and read. Now she's a little more careful about when and where she indulges her reading habit.
By day she's a high school English teacher, by night she's a mom and wife, and she writes during any time she can find in between!
Rachele lives with her husband and son in Cleveland, Ohio, but dreams of moving back to Boston, the city she fell in love with while attending graduate school there.
Rachele Alpine was kind enough to share a few of her favorite things with us today…

Speak!! The Sky is Everywhere!! Looking for Alaska!! I so love those books. I love seeing what authors love in YA and in real life :) I notice she said she's a Cleveland Indians fan NOT a Cleveland Browns fan lolololol (as a Steelers fan, I'm obligated to make fun of the Browns when the chance arises). Thanks for being on the tour Jennifer!
