I know that when writing reviews, you're supposed to give details. After all, the book description is usually so vague; reviews help to expand the preview of the book. I'll go over the basics: Bone Gap is a small town where gossip is king, and a young woman named Roza has disappeared. The rest of the town has written off her abrupt exit as "women being women," but Finn knows that she was kidnapped. The problem is no one believes him, not even his brother, Sean. 
 And that is all the details I'm going to give away. 
 For me, the true enjoyment of reading this book was the not knowing. Of course, all books should carry at least some surprises, but a lot of times they are unfortunately predictable. BONE GAP kept me guessing, to the point where as I was reading I couldn't even figure out what genre this was going to be. Was it magical realism, or just suspense? Does something strange and fantastical (and horrible) happen to Roza, or is it just plain horrible? Is the town right about Finn, or is he the only one who can see the truth? 
 If you're reading through reviews trying to decide if you should read this or not, my advice is: stop reading reviews, and go read the book. Knowing more about it will not make the read any more enjoyable. In fact, it might make you dislike it. This book is more about the people of Bone Gap, as it switches between third-person perspectives, and what really got me hooked was needing to know where the heck this book fit in the scheme of things. If you know even a little about what is going to happen and how everything unfolds, it's not going to be as enjoyable of a read. Even if it's some seemingly innocuous fact, the story is told in a way that events are revisited from different perspectives as the book go on, and you don't even know how everything got its start until near the very end. 
 I highly enjoyed this read, and I highly recommend it. Laura Ruby crafted wonderful characters whose relationships were complex and shifting, who were charming and interesting, each with distinct voices even in the third-person style. BONE GAP is a book that will slowly suck you in, until you find you can't put the it down until you've reached the very last page.
