From the New York Times bestselling authors
of All the Bright Places and Every Day comes
a story of hope, family, and finding your home in the people who matter the
most.

Subject: You. Missing.

Ezra Ahern wakes up one day to find his older sister, Bea, gone. No
note, no sign, nothing but an email address hidden somewhere only he would find
it. Ezra never expected to be left behind with their abusive stepfather and
their neglectful mother – how is he supposed to navigate life without Bea?

Bea Ahern already knew she needed to get as far away from home as
possible. But a message in her inbox changes everything, and she finds herself
alone in a new city – without Ez, without a real plan – chasing someone who
might not even want to be found.

As things unravel at home for Ezra, Bea confronts secrets about their past that
will forever change the way they think about their family. Together and apart,
broken by abuse but connected by love, this brother and sister must learn to
trust themselves before they can find a way back to each other.

The Review 📚 Take Me with You When You Go

✨ The Title/Cover Draw:

• I am not sure what drew me to this book initially to be honest. But thank you to @getunderlined @jaimerockstarbooktours and @netgalley for allowing me to read this ahead of publications and help promote it!

💜 What I liked:

• This story was told between Ezra and Bea in email format after Bea has run away. For the first half of the book, I was riveted as the reasons why she left were slowly being revealed.

😱 What I didn’t like:

• Unfortunately, the last half of the book had a pacing issue for me. There was a lot more musing and reflection and I caught myself being distracted. However, the ending was satisfactory.

🚦 My face at the end: 😊

💭 3 Reasons to Read:

• 1. Mysterious Premise
• 2. Sibling Lore
• 3. LGBTQ+ main character
