Commentary As Books Nearly Gone (Nearly Boswell #1)
Keeping secrets is second nature to Nearly Boswell. Living in a trailer park outside Washington, DC, with a mom who works as an exotic dancer, she knows better than to share anything that would make her a target with her classmates. Only her best friends know about her obsession with the personal ads, and Nearly hasn't told anyone about the emotions she can taste when she brushes against someone's skin. Then a serial killer goes on a murder spree and starts attacking students, leaving cryptic ads in the newspaper. Nearly might be the one person who can put all the clues together, and if she doesn't figure it out soon - she'll be next. Big, dark, scary, and brilliantly plotted, Nearly Gone will leave you guessing until the very end.Rating Appertaining To Books Nearly Gone (Nearly Boswell #1)

VIDEO REVIEW: Coming Soon!The best and most accurately way to describe this novel is Veronica Mars meets Scream meet Pretty Little Liars. If any of those trip your trigger then you need to continue on and read this review because I think I found your next great mystery read. I've heard really great things about Nearly Gone, so I was very excited to add it to my Halloween TBR this month. This was the first Halloween book I picked up for the month and I am so glad I did. I should also mention thisI received this book from Penguin Publishers in exchange for an honest review. I award this book 3.5 stars.Nearly Gone by Elle Cosimano stars Nearly, who lives in a trailer park. Her mom is a stripper, and her dad left them with almost nothing.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! A mystery thriller done RIGHT!
3.5/5 starsspoiler-freeThis book was a quick, easy read of mystery. I enjoyed the characters and the plot was generally consistent. Contemporary mysteries are not my usual genre of book; I tend to lean toward the action based novels, so it did not earn full stars for me. At times, I found myself resisting the urge to scream at the characters for various reasons. First of all, who names their kid "Nearly"?! I found it a bit strange. Sometimes Nearly clearly didn't use her head, and that got to
Originally, I was going to give it 2.5 stars, but I'm feeling generous and the ending was good.So 3 stars.Now, I know what some of you are thinking. If you've been keeping up with my updates with this book, you would know how much I didn't like Nearly and her stupid decisions. And I didn't, believe me. I've never met a more stupid character in my life. But I'll get to that in a bit. For now, let me talk about Nearly Gone.Mind you, this book will not be for everyone so if you decide to check it
