From the New York Times bestselling authors of All the Bright Places and Every Day comes a story of hope, siblinghood, and finding your home in the people who matter the most.Subject: You. Missing.
Ezra Ahern wakes up one day to find his older sister, Bea, gone. No note, no sign, nothing but an email address hidden somewhere only he would find it. Ezra never expected to be left behind with their abusive stepfather and their neglectful mother—how is he supposed to navigate life without Bea?
Bea Ahern already knew she needed to get as far away from home as possible But a message in her inbox changes everything, and she finds herself alone in a new city—without Ez, without a real plan—chasing someone who might not even want to be found.
As things unravel at home for Ezra, Bea will confront secrets about their past that will forever change the way they think about their family. Together and apart, broken by abuse but connected by love, this brother and sister must learn to trust themselves before they can find a way back to each other.

Dear Bea,
I am not mad at you. I don t blame you. But I do think you owe me an explanation.
I know you re gone. We all know you re gone. I think from the moment Mom went into your room and found it the way you left it, we knew. What an exquisite fuck you to her and Darren--a perfectly made bed. Like it had never been slept in. Like you d never been here at all. How many times have they yelled at you to make that bed? How many times have you refused? (Hint: The answer to both questions is the same number.) And now: You left everything smooth and blank.
No note. No word.
I know. I looked.
I wasn t the one who found your room like that. I was sitting at the kitchen table, trying to eat cereal in a way that wouldn t annoy Darren. Suddenly Mom was screaming your name. Again and again, angry at first, then something else--maybe ten percent scared. (It maxed out there, about ten percent.) I ll admit I didn t think much of it, since no morning would be complete without you two fighting. Darren didn t look up from his toast either. But then Mom came storming into the kitchen and launched right into me--Where is your sister? Tell me right now where she is.
If I were you, I would have responded with something like How the fuck should I know? or Isn t it a little early for this shit, Mom? But it s a well-established fact that I am not you, so immediately I was like, I don t know I don t know I don t know--what s going onnnnnnn? Sounding guilty as I tried so hard to sound innocent. Then she turned to Darren and was like, She s gone, and he was like, How the hell can she be gone?
As an answer, we took a family trip up to your room. That s when I saw your bed and thought, Oh, wow. She s taken off.

t going to say anything more than that, but they saw me looking around and Darren was on me in a flash, asking what was missing. I pointed out that your backpack wasn t anywhere in sight, and that your schoolbooks were now stacked next to your garbage pail. (Nice touch.) Also, the biggest shock, your phone was abandoned on your dresser. Presumably so we couldn t use it to track you.
Mom and Darren acted like insider knowledge was required to make this observation, so the interrogation resumed. I didn t crack, though. Or wait--I guess I did crack. But they quickly saw there wasn t anything behind the crack. You d left me empty too.
They might have kept on me--there wasn t anything else for them to do, or at least nothing else that was occurring to them--but at that moment we were jolted by a honk outside. And I ll admit--even though it didn t really surprise me to find you were gone, it surprised the heck out of me to have Joe in front of our house, coming to pick you up. Because that meant you d left him too.
I probably don t need to describe the ambush that followed. Darren dragging poor Joe out of the car, into the kitchen. Sitting him down, asking him hundreds of questions. And Joe sitting there, it dawning on him that his girlfriend has vanished. You are his life, Bea. You know that. And of all people, Darren was telling him that his life had walked out the door. Buh-bye.
Even though Darren yelled at Joe to look at him, only him, Joe kept looking over to me, begging me to tell him this wasn t really happening, that I had a secret message from you, the coordinates of a meeting place where you d be waiting.
All I could do was shake my head.
Eventually, Mom and Darren were sat
