The Safest Lies by Megan Miranda
I bought this because I liked another of her books so much, and then I found out it was a TAYSHAS this year too.
Kelsey is seventeen. Until she started high school, she had been homeschooled her entire life. This is because her mother is agoraphobic, stemming from being kidnapped when she was seventeen years old. Kelsey wasn't really allowed to do anything, or go anywhere because of her mother's fear.
One evening, Kelsey was headed home from school, and got into a car accident. The young fireman who helped rescue her, Ryan, is in her math class and has a bit of a crush on her. The feeling is mutual. The mayor of their town wants to honor Ryan for his efforts and Kelsey wants to go to this, but her mother forbids it. So Kelsey sneaks out. She runs into Ryan when she is coming home.
Things seem weird, as all of the "safety" measures that are on her house are not working. When Kelsey comes inside, she knows something is wrong. Her mother is missing. Then she and Ryan see people outside her house, and ultimately get into her house. Kelsey and Ryan and a couple of friends escape, but there's still no word from Kelsey's mother. The police don't believe she was kidnapped again, and Kelsey learns more about her mother than she planned.
Will her mother return? If so, where was she? What happened? Read this and find out.
