With the help of the cute new boy in town, Logan, who has his own secrets, Zan sets out to reconnect with Priya. Everyone tells Zan she should give Priya some space, but something seems off. When Zan’s best friend Priya moved away she expected some changes – but not to be cut out of her life all together.
All in all, If You’re Out There is unique and delightful. And while this YA title’s focus is on the friendship between two girls, there is the added bonus of sweet romance, diverse characters, and interesting and complex family dynamics, as well as the thread of mystery that weaves throughout the story. If You’re Out There is an ode to the power of friendship. Maybe Priya isn’t just not answering Zan’s emails. Then a clue hidden in Priya’s latest selfie introduces a new, deeply disturbing possibility. And he’s just as willing to throw himself into the investigation when everyone else thinks her suspicions are crazy. It’s only when she meets Logan, the compelling new guy in Spanish class, that Zan begins to open up about her sadness, her insecurity, her sense of total betrayal. But until Zan hears Priya say it, she won’t be able to admit that the friendship is finished. Everyone tells Zan not to be an idiot: Let Priya do her reinvention thing, and move on. Worse, Priya’s social media has turned into a stream of ungrammatical posts chronicling a sunny, vapid new life that doesn’t sound like her at all.

After Zan’s best friend moves to California, she’s baffled and crushed when Priya suddenly ghosts.
