Nearly Found by Elle Cosimano
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nearly Found by Elle Cosimano is the sequel to Nearly Gone which was a Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Nominee for high school in 2015-2016 and, in my opinion, should have won. In the first book, we are introduced to Nearly Boswell, who at the time, was targeted by a serial killer. With the killer in jail, Nearly can now relax a bit and concentrate on her senior year of high school and an internship at the local crime lab. Thankfully, she is still with Reece, but that relationship is being strained a bit because Reece is now in a school across town and isn’t able to see Nearly as frequently as they have been. Also, he is getting pretty close to a girl at that school, but that’s what a narc is supposed to do…isn’t it? People in the hallways stare at Nearly as she walks through and her best friends, Jeremy and Anh, are not only not talking to her anymore, but now they are dating each other. This is Nearly’s new reality and one that gets shatter again with the first cryptic note left for her to find. Not only is she finding notes, but others are too and when they all get together, they realize that all of their fathers were in the same poker club together. Regardless of their feelings towards each other, this group of kids has to now work together before more people end up dead.

Nearly Found by Elle Cosimano is just as good as it’s predecessor, Nearly Gone. Again, I’m drawn into this crazy, twisted plot that just when you think you know what’s going on, things change. I love the endings of both of these books that brings everything together and leaves the reader with a ‘Oh! I get it now!’ feeling. It really makes you want to read the book over again just to pick out little things that you may have missed. Again, as in Nearly Gone, I love that Nearly is intelligent. There’s nothing more I love than a brainy girl! We definitely need more of that and I do love Nearly and Reece together. Elle Cosimano is a very consistent writer whereas if you like one of her books, then you’ll love her other books. She’s very good at weaving very complicated, well thought-out tales with great detail. I highly recommend Nearly Found by Elle Cosimano. You won’t be able to put it down until the very last word!!
