Description
A brilliantly page-turning thriller with an unusual psychological twist, which fans of One of Us is Lying, Ace of Spades and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder will love.
Sariyah is determined not to let her missing friend become just another statistic, one of many vanished Black girls. But despite her talent for ESP, Sariyah is struggling, even when the clues point surprisingly close to home.
When Sariyah's birthday celebrations at a music festival turn sour with the disappearance of one of her friends, she knows she can't rely on the police to find her. The authorities are no more help than they were when her friend's twin sister, another young woman of colour, went missing five years earlier. Sariyah feels guilty that her uncanny ability to predict people's needs didn't help to keep her friends safe. She is determined to find out what's happened to Deja. But the more she cracks the clues leading to her, the closer she gets to home …
'An unputdownable mystery centering a missing Black girl and the relentless search of friends who won't give up on her. [...] Needy Little Things is a triumphant debut.' Jessica Lewis, author of Bad Witch Burning

I did enjoy this book, I found it fast paced and engaging. The subject matter is so important and I liked how the author got the point across (I'm trying not to include spoilers hence why this is so vague).
I found the first bit slightly slow going but it did pick up and I was hooked. I loved the characters, however misguided their decisions may be!
I wasn't overly keen on the whole 'santa bag' aspect of the plot but it was necessary so that's just my personal opinion.
Overall, a good YA read.
