Beschreibung
From bestselling author Chelsea Sedoti comes a comedic young adult mystery with "e;one of the most relatable characters in recent young adult literature"e; (Book Page), perfect for fans of John Green and Jandy Nelson. Hawthorn Creely's not one to get involved in other people's business. But a missing person's investigation? That's another matter...Hawthorn wasn't trying to insert herself into a missing person's investigation. Or maybe she was. But that's only because Lizzie Lovett's disappearance is the one fascinating mystery their sleepy town has ever had. Bad things don't happen to popular girls like Lizzie Lovett, and Hawthorn is convinced she'll turn up at any moment-which means the time for speculation is now.So Hawthorn comes up with her own theory for Lizzie's disappearance. A theory way too absurd to take seriously...at first. The more Hawthorn talks, the more she believes. And what better way to collect evidence than to immerse herself in Lizzie's life? Like getting a job at the diner where Lizzie worked and hanging out with Lizzie's boyfriend. After all, it's not as if he killed her-or did he?Told with a unique voice that is both hilarious and heart-wrenching, Hawthorn's quest for proof may uncover the greatest truth is within herself.Perfect for buyers looking for:funny books for teenscharacter-driven coming-of-age storiesthe young adult books best sellers 2017Also by Chelsea Sedoti: It Came from the SkyAs You WishPraise for The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett: "e;A dark, comedic mystery about a girl's quest for proof that ultimately helps her discover some truths about herself.
