In Paris, family and friends gather to mourn the tragic passing of Charlie Price—young, handsome, charming, a world-traveler—who is presumed dead after an explosion. Authorities find only a bloodied jacket, ID’d as Charlie’s. At the funeral, two teens who are perfect strangers, Lena Whitney and Aubrey Boroughs, make another shocking discovery: they have both been dating Charlie, both think Charlie loved them and them alone, and there is a lot they didn’t know about their boyfriend. Over the next week, a mind-bending trip unfolds: first in London—then in Mumbai, Kerala, and Bangkok, the girls go in search of Charlie. Is he still alive? What did their love for him even mean? The truth is out there, but soon it becomes clear that the girls are harboring secrets of their own.

From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up—Presumed dead in an explosion, Charlie Price is being mourned at his funeral in Paris, which is attended by friends and family. Charlie's death is a tragedy—he was young, charming, and full of life. A world traveler, he was also something of a playboy; both Audrey and Lena loved Charlie and thought that they were the only women in his life. When they meet at the funeral, it sets them off on a whirlwind journey around the globe, where they must confront the questions that come up time and time again: did they really know Charlie? Did anyone? And is Charlie, presumed dead, actually gone for good? Travel descriptions and fast-paced writing sprinkled with intrigue and horror spin this story forward at an enjoyable pace. Teen suspense fans will be satisfied with the Gone Girl-esque feeling of the work. The first in a series, the ending may leave some tearing at their hair, but the promise of more books will keep many readers salivating. VERDICT Recommended as a primary purchase.—Clair Segal, LREI, New York City
Review “If the perfect summer book makes your heart race and your pulse pound, we've got some page-turners for you.”—Entertainment Weekly’s 10 Great Thrillers for Your Beach Reading List “A trippy, globetrotting mysterious adventure, this is a twisty and fun read.”—RT Book Reviews “Like Amelia Anne Is Dead and Gone, the characters are not who they seem; like We Were Liars, the truth is masked by delusion.”—BookPage “A compelling read, one that will provoke adventure-lust, a need to experience the strange, the fearful, and the unknown.”—Boston Globe “A creepy, thrilling tangled web of book. I couldn’t put it down. Anne Heltzel has written two bold, complicated young women as they embark on an adventure through Europe and Asia, unraveling the disappearance of their shared boyfriend, Charlie (presumed dead). Their mystery is everybody’s mystery at some point, whether we like it or not: Who is this person I’m dating and what are they hiding?”—David Iserson, author of Firecracker “Buckle in tight. Charlie, Presumed Dead is a mystery wrapped in a puzzle strapped in a roller coaster. Full of compelling characters and exotic settings, this dark and twisty thrill ride kept me up late and kept me guessing.”—Fiona Paul, author of the Eternal Rose trilogy “So twisty and devious that I couldn’t stop turning the pages, Charlie Presumed Dead is also a story with heart. I was fascinated by the unfolding of an unlikely friendship between two very different young women who become a force to be reckoned with. I loved it.”—Marie Rutkoski, author of The Winner’s Curse "An edgy thriller that keeps the guesses coming until the last word."—Kirkus "As the layers of each character's duplicity are carefully revealed, the unearthing of blackmail, revenge, red herrings, and more makes for a thrilling and immersive tale of manipulation as wily as Charlie himself."—Publishers Weekly "Travel descriptions and fast-paced writing sprinkled with intrigue and horror spin this story forward at an enjoyable pace. Teen suspense fans will be satisfied with the Gone Girl–esque feeling of the work."—School Library Journal "Teens shouldn't come here looking for a happy ending or even justice delivered but for a creepy race toward a bone-wracking shudder."—Bulletin

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. interesting enough By The NerdHerd Reads I was mixed on this one. I'm not super into mysteries or thrillers but this one caught my attention. I did enjoy it, and it kept me wondering. While it did have its ups and downs, I did think it was executed well.Aubrey flies across the ocean to London to attend the funeral of her boyfriend when she makes a shocking discovery: he had another girlfriend. And while Aubrey was kept secret from his family, everyone knew about Lena. When the two girls come face-to-face, they agree that something suspicious is going on, and set out to discover what it is. Lena is sure that Charlie isn't actually dead, while Aubrey has a terrible secret she needs to make sure no one finds out.I thought both the characters were established very well. Although it was dual perspective, both girls remained clear and separate. These girls can barely trust each other, yet they set out to London, India, Bangkok together to find out the truth. I loved how they came to a friendship, even though they still are uneasy. Both are harboring secrets, but realize they have to trust each other to make it work. Both girls have never really had best friends before, so this is new for them. I thought their characters were built up very well and grew very well.The plot also kept me guessing. There were some things that I did not see coming. The story was suspenseful and exciting, and even takes a deadly turn. However, some things were built up only to fall flat. I also had issue with the ending, which was quite abrupt. I went into it thinking it was a standalone, and now I'm not sure. I did love the different settings, and even the surprise of a third perspective I won't say because of spoilers. But it brought a depth and interest to the story.All in all, I think this story was well done. While it was mysterious, I'm not sure how much of a "thriller" it was. Although there were some plot twists, some things also fell flat. But I did love the characters and how they change and grow. However, if there were to be a sequel, I'm not necessarily sure that I would read it.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Not For Me By Pacey1927 A reader can't possibly love every book they read. And a book can't possibly be loved by every person who reads it. I did not love "Charlie, Presumed Dead". I loved the general plot: Charlie dies under questionable or at least odd circumstances. At his funeral his girlfriend meets his other girlfriend. Together they decide to find out if Charlie really is dead and if not they hope to confront him.Anne Heltzel is a good author. The story was well-written but not always engaging. There were many times that the novel stalled which really should not happen since the girls jump from one crazy escapade into another. I did like both girls and my favorite part of the novel was seeing their friendship develop. I thought the author did a fantastic job of making sure both girls had distinct voices since they take turns narrating the chapters. I started the novel not liking Charlie and I ended it the same. However I did not feel like I learned anything real about Charlie. He told a lot of lies and kept two girlfriends but we don't ever understand what made him tick. I could never determine who I could trust in the book and while that should have been a good plot device, ultimately it just became sad and disappointing. I also did not find it believable that the girls were teenagers, one just finishing high school. They were running all around poverty stricken countries and their parent's did nothing more than demand they come home. Weird. When I was reading the book I felt like they behaved like women in their mid twenties. It may have helped make this book more believable.But that ending was just not right! It was the worst kind of cliffhanger where absolutely nothing is resolved and you know that you will need to read another book in a year to find out what happens. Unfortunately, I am not entertained or invested enough to read a sequel. Many people loved this book and I can see why. It just was not a good fit for me.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. a good mind F By Michelle@Book Briefs Charlie Presumed Dead is a young adult suspense thriller that will have you jet-setting all over the world just to find out if Charlie is really dead or not. The book starts out with Charlie's funeral, where there are two girls who both think they are Charlie's girlfriend. Serious girlfriend, at that. Neither one knew about the other, and as soon as they become aware of the other one, they find themselves confused by the other person's Charlie. That was actually the aspect of Charlie that intrigued me the most. Sure he was a cheating jerk. That is obvious from the book summary, but Lena's Charlie loved Olives and Aubrey's Charlie Hated them with a passion. As soon as I read that, I knew this was going to be more than just a morbid scavenger hunt. There are so many layers to Charlie Presumed Dead. It is one hell of a ride.The book is told through the points of view of Lena and Aubrey mostly, with a couple of scatterings of Charlie and memories thrown in for good measure. I know that may seen like a lot to keep track of, but it really isn't. Lena and Aubrey are on this crazy adventure together so their switching chapters just continue on the story. It moves really fluidly. I liked Lena and Aubrey. It was hard for me to figure out which one I liked more and which one I felt worse for. I liked them both pretty equally. And this book is just as much about them as it is about finding Charlie. Because everyone has their own secrets to unravel and reveal throughout the journey. And some of the secrets are real doozies.The mystery aspect of the plot was really well done. I had no idea which way this book was going to turn out, and I couldn't have predicted the ending at all. It really shocked me. There was one point in the book about 3/4th of the way through where there was a pretty big reveal and I thought, 'ok, now what? Mystery solved, what else could possible happen?' HAHA, oh man, was I wrong. The book took a turn for the even crazier at that point and the ending was nuts! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I couldn't read the pages fast enough. This is one book that you really have to experience for yourself. It is pretty cool. It will take you on a real mind bend. I want to crawl inside Anne Heltzel's head and just stay there awhile, because I have no idea where she gets some of this crazy from. I loved Charlie Presumed Dead, and I think anyone that enjoys mystery, suspense, and a good mind F will too!*Disclaimer- I got a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest review. I was not compensated for my thoughts.
