Teen Book Review: Finding Paris by Joy Preble

Amazon Summary:

An evocative and compelling story of two sisters who would do anything for each other-perfect for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why and Speak. Joy Preble's stirring new novel explores the lengths to which sisters go to protect each other, and the winding road that brings two strangers into each other's lives.

Sisters Leo and Paris Hollings have only ever had each other to rely on. They can't trust their mother, who hops from city to city and from guy to guy, or their gambler stepfather, who's moved them all to Las Vegas. It's just the two of them: Paris, who's always been the dreamer, and Leo, who has a real future in mind-going to Stanford, becoming a doctor, falling in love. But Leo isn't going anywhere right now, except driving around Vegas all night with her sister.

Until Paris ditches Leo at the Heartbreak Hotel Diner, where moments before they had been talking with physics student Max Sullivan. Outside, Leo finds a cryptic note from Paris-a clue. Is it some kind of game? Where is Paris, and why has she disappeared? When Leo reluctantly accepts Max's offer of help, the two find themselves following a string of clues through Vegas and beyond. But the search for the truth is not a straight line. And neither is the path to secrets Leo and Max hold inside.

Teen Review:

Finding Paris is about two sisters, Leo and Paris, driving around Las Vegas to Heartbreaker's diner. All is well until Paris abandons Leo at the diner with a stranger. What started out as a casual drive to a diner, turned into a scavenger hunt with Paris leaving clues around Las Vegas, claiming she's being forced to do all these things. Leo and the stranger, Mack Sullivan, drive around and around to different clues that lead them all the way to California. With not so caring parents Leo is left scared and wondering if her sister was really kidnapped or is this just some sick joke.

An unbelievable journey with a twist ending leaving you wanting more. I really enjoyed this book. It was adventurous, suspicious, and keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole way through.  I found this book was medium pace but it was perfect for me.

Joy Preble is an exceptional author in the adventure genre. I rate this book 4.5/5 and would recommend this book to book lovers that liked the book Looking For Alaska and/or Paper Towns.
