A high school graduate runs away to the Scottish Highlands and nothing can go wrong, right? No. She disappears and is presumed dead but her body was never found. So what really happened to Alice? This was a pretty good read. It was short and moved fast. The story was interesting but predictable. It’s told from multiple points of view and multiple timelines, which I did really like. It was written well so that the reader isn’t confused by POV or time. The characters were a little bit flat but still likable. Overall, it was worth the read.
