Book Review
What Happened to Coco by VB Furlong
4/5 stars
Ebook with thanks from BookSirens.
Coco has gone missing. Her boyfriend Harrison and friends Ella, Conrad and Bea are worried, this isn't like her, normally her every move is documented for social media.
This book is separated into different parts narrated by Ella, Bea, Conrad and Harrison in order detailing the time leading up to Coco's disappearance and how they each feel about her, such as Ella's jealousy about Coco's ease with boys. For Bea, the newest member of the group, Coco gave her the confidence to come out.
I loved the characters and the plot, everything is delightfully twisty. However I think it could have gone through another round of editing. There were a few clunky sentences, there was one that followed her face being pale and green with her face being waxy. Tense was a little tricky at times, it would be present day and then suddenly it would jump to weeks or months earlier. Also I feel like some of the later plot points could have been introduced earlier, a lot happened in a very short space of time and all in the last quarter of the book.
