Throwaway Girls
by Andrea Contos
🏆 International Thriller Writers’ Awards best young adult novel 2021
Caroline can’t wait to turn eighteen and finish school, to leave her conservative family who refuse to accept her sexual identity. She struggles with mental health problems and is trying to keep her head down, but when her best friend Madison disappears Caroline gets involved in the investigation. She soon discovers that Madison is not the only girl who has disappeared. This book raises important questions about inequality, entitlement and abuse of power, and how class differences are reflected in law enforcement outcomes.
