Praise for Andrea Contos
THROWAWAY GIRLS is a Kirkus Best Books of 2020!
ITW Award Winner for Best Young Adult Novel 2021
Kirkus STARRED review, calling a “Smart, memorable mystery.”
“An extraordinary debut, THROWAWAY GIRLS brings to mind Kara Thomas’s and Megan Miranda’s brand of dark contemporary thrillers, with a resourceful, unapologetically defiant voice, a skillfully crafted mystery, and stunningly powerful prose. Taut, poignant, and utterly cinematic, I couldn’t put this book down.”
“Atmospheric and haunting, Throwaway Girls is a missing girl mystery with a fierce social conscious and writing so lush, it will leave you gasping for air.”
