Gr 9 Up—Intrigued by a boy (Andy) who visits her favorite café every day, 17-year-old Theo Lane secretly starts filming him for her next documentary. Theo learns that Andy has been waiting four days for Sarah, the love of his life, to meet him at the café like she promised. Touched by his story, she offers to help him find Sarah. In doing so, Theo begins piecing together her own personal puzzle. What exactly happened on the The Night in Question, the evening that's been erased from her memory but has left her with a hideous facial scar? Through Theo, listeners experience firsthand the confusion and fear that can occur when repressed memories begin to emerge. As Theo uncovers the truth of her past, many disjointed elements in the narrative start to make sense. Ali Ahn gives voice to Theo's inner turmoil and provides distinctive voices for all the characters.
VERDICT Recommended for teen listeners who enjoy psychological thrillers with a twist. ["A riveting thriller for fans of unreliable narrators": SLJ 10/15 review of the Soho Teen book.]
