After a very long wait, readers will be able to find closure with the last book in one of Meg Cabot's hit series, 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU. Ms. Cabot begins the novel almost two years after the last book. Jessica Mastriana is now at Julliard after the long, tedious days she spent helping the U.S. government find the bad guys during war. Although it did help her country, the things she saw as she was overseas took a toll on her. Instead of being able to dream about missing people, now Jess only dreams about the horrible scenes she saw during the war. This ultimately leads to her losing her powers.

But now that is all behind her. It's summer and Jess is living with her best friend, Ruth, along with Michael and Skip, and is helping to teach kids how to play a musical instrument. All Jess wants to do is to forget about the past and start over.

Unfortunately, her plans are ruined when her ex-boyfriend Rob flies all the way to New York to see her. But it's not to ask her to get back together with her--more like Rob needs Jess to help him find his sister, who just went missing. Before she knows it, all the things that Jess wanted to forget come crashing back. But with her powers supposedly gone, how can she help Rob, the one person she especially wants to forget about?

After the long wait, we expected for this series to end with a bang, and Ms. Cabot does not disappoint. MISSING YOU is the perfect ending to the 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU series, tying up all loose ends and resolving all problems, leaving the reader with no unanswered questions. Most characters return in the story, and even a surprise romance begins. Readers will root for Jess until the very end, while falling head-over-heels for Rob all over again. The only sad part is, now the series is completely over! ( )

The 1-800-Where-R-You series by Meg Cabot is one of my favorites. One day walking home from school Jess was hit by lightning, after that whenever she slept she saw where missing children where. I love Jess’s attitude, and Rob is one of my favorite characters. ( )

It's a couple of years after book 4 - Jess is at Julliard. She worked for the FBI, and then later the Army in Afghanistan during the war, until she burnt out and lost her powers. She has nightmares every night, hates Julliard but loves her part time job teaching underprivileged kids music. One fateful day, her ex-boyfriend Rob (ex because when she came home from the war she saw him kissing a girl, never believed his explanations and dumped him) shows up and asks her to find his half-sister (who he recently discovered he had). Jess is all, no I can't do that any more, but turns out she can, so they go traipsing off to find her. Now, I found Rob's rise to fortune a little unbelievable, but that's just me. A yay if you liked the others in the series, which I did.

The first part of this book is more depressed than what I expected. The story, though catchy, is told rather than unfold. But then, given that the author has stopped writing this series for 4 year, it's understandable.

All is changed in this book, both the tone and character, bringing to the conclusion of the story. If I read it immediately after the fourth of this series, I might be upset with the two missing years (that are concluded in the first part of this book). But right now, I'm just glad to finally being able to enjoy this book. ( )

So the engagement, MAJOR AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW moment! I was never quite a fan of Jess/Rob, I thought Rob was a bit bad for her, but...wow! That was just *too* sweeet!!! And the SCRAPBOOK! Tears galore, I tell you!
And Jess's mom was being a major , if i may say. Seriously.
I think that this book skipped years because that's what was *supposed* to happen in books 5-8, but the stupid publishing ppl only let her write one more, sadness, but she most definitely pulled it off.
AND THEY"RE ENGAGED! I can't get over that!
Also, I think Mike/Ruth was really rushed, but I have nooo problem with that, because, once again, the limit on this being the last book. It's sweet though. And I still love Douglas!
Still kinda waiting for the ENGAGEMENT shock to wear off. I mean...THEY'RE FREAKIN' ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOO!
And I'm so glad Rob wasn't on probation for anything that serious! That was actually rather sweet, the swimming thing. ( )
