Appraisal:
When Alyssa Masters, a freshman college student, wakes up on a
fraternity’s front lawn. She’s hungover and not wearing her own clothes. She
has very foggy memories of the night before. This is out of character for her,
she doesn’t drink or go to parties like her roommates.
Aly is a straight-laced student and fears what she can’t remember from
the previous night. Justin finds her on the lawn and offers to help her back to
her dorm and to unravel the mystery of just exactly what happened at the party.
Justin remembers seeing Aly go upstairs with Brendan, a frat brother. Unfortunately
Brendan left the college early Sunday morning.
The plot has a nice pace as Aly and Justin search for answers. I found
the dialogue mostly believable. This is a sweet story that challenges Aly to reevaluate
her reclusive and introverted nature. The
Missing Piece is a quick enjoyable story.
