I read this book and the sequel years and years ago and decided to reread it to see if it held up. It didn't.

Firstly, this ends on a major cliffhanger, which I always hate - especially since this was originally a standalone. (The author eventually turned it into a series of 5 books.)

Secondly, Janie's boyfriend is obsessed with getting her to have sex with him. I definitely did not remember all the sexual references in here. Her boyfriend pretty much has no personality apart from this fact.

And Janie herself is annoying and self-centered. I hated that the author made Janie's boyfriend her "real" best friend, and her female friends were more or less ignored.

Not to mention, the writing is incredibly repetitive. ( )

Janie sees a picture on a milk carton of a missing girl. She is convinced that it is her. The more she digs into things the more convinced she becomes. She finally talks her boyfriend into driving to New Jersey where she believes her biological parents live. As they watch the house, a school bus pulls up and several children with red hair, like her own, get off the bus. Janie decides she must confront her parents with all the evidence she has gathered.

This was so good that as soon as I finished reading this one, I ordered all the rest in the series! It's about a 15 yr old girl named Janie Johnson who while she was drinking a carton of milk at lunch stopped when she saw the missing child picture on it. It was her. This book follows her struggle as she tries to figure out what to do. I highly recommend this book! So good! ( )
