Claudia Castro is a freshman at NYU, the daughter of a Grammy Award-winning musician and producer and a model. She has a bit of a reputation as a partier, a drinker, and someone known to hook up with guys from time to time, and a recent appearance on a reality show cemented that reputation among her peers.
While most of her classmates have left for spring break, she wakes up one morning extremely hung over, bruised, bloody, and she’s fairly certain she had sex—but she can’t remember what happened the night before. Who did this to her? What actually happened? Who was with her, who might have seen it?
Licking her wounds, she cuts herself off from her family, spending time with only one classmate, who becomes her friend and confidant. When a video from that night surfaces, suddenly everyone is looking for Claudia—for different reasons—and she’s nowhere to be found.
This book hooked me from the start, as I wanted to know what happened to Claudia as much as everyone else. Then the book flipped the script and I had no idea what to expect. It’s definitely a revenge story you’ll want to discuss with someone!
I liked the concept of The Missing Hours and found the family dynamics fascinating. I just thought the plot was a little unrealistic (or at least I hope so). But it definitely outlined the treatment women in society face.
