This book is brilliant! I read it in one sitting as it is so pacy and exciting. The story begins with Caela, who lives with her dad. It is her 16th birthday and she spends it with her best friends, Eliza and Grady, then plans to have dinner with her dad but when he doesn't come home at the agreed time, everything starts to go downhill. We then join Iris and a group of girls living in a cabin with Sol, the man who takes care of them. I don't want to say any more and risk giving anything away. It's just a really great, believable story with a good dose of girl power. My only slight disappointment is that I want to know what happened after the final events in the book. I know you can't tie up every loose end and this is not a criticism but I have so many questions!

Really enjoyed this book and how the story was laid out. Quick paced and gripping meaning I finished it in one sitting.

Where Lost Girls Go is a compelling YA read that mixes cult dynamics, mystery, and romance (warning: woke) with themes of grief, belonging, and finding your way back to yourself. The story follows a group of girls living in an isolated cabin under the guidance of Sol, a charismatic leader whose influence becomes more unsettling the deeper the story goes.
The girls see themselves as a family and are deeply grateful to Sol for taking them in. Over time, though, small details start to stand out. There are strict rules that nobody questions, including a ban on discussing their pasts, and a growing sense that loyalty to Sol comes before everything else.
We see how Iris and Rose's relationship develops. Their connection becomes an important part of the story as one of them begins to question the life they've built under Sol's roof. The book does a good job showing how manipulation can be difficult to recognize when you're the one experiencing it, making the cult elements feel believable and unsettling without going over the top.
