I am reviewing a copy of Message Not Found through HarperCollins Children’s Books, Quill Tree Books and Netgalley:

Bailey and Vanessa shared everything from laughter and secrets as well as packets of Pop Rocks when they were trying to ward off bad days. Sadly that all changed the night Vanessa left Bailey’s, headed for home, and ended up swerving off a cliff nowhere near her house.

Bailey thought she knew Vanessa better than anyone else in the world, is left with a million unanswered questions, and the only person with answers is gone.

In order to help with her brief Bailey creates a chat bot of Vanessa using years’ worth of their shared text messages and emails. The more data she uploads to the bot, the more age finds herself feeling as if she’s talking to her best friend. But when the bot starts dropping hints that there was more going on with Vanessa than Bailey realized — a secret so big, it may have contributed to Vanessa’s death.

Will Bailey be able to find out what really led to Vanessa’s death?

I give Message Not Found five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
