It was enjoyable enough. I’m mainly just interested to see how everything will wrap up. This book didn’t really feel necessary though.

Dude, ow. This is the third Janie Johnson book, and I didn't think Janie's hurt could grow any deeper. But she has one under-utilized source for grief: her boyfriend, Reeve. And when Reeve goes off to college and tries to find a way to stand out from the crowd, he realizes he has one thing that makes him unique: Janie's story. Which he begins to tell on the radio.
What happens from there is a predictable train wreck. I'm glad that the transgression was taken seriously, and that the story doesn't end with easy forgiveness and love, as Janie's sister fears. There are consequences, and they're hard on both Janie and Reeve.
This book really explores the risks parents take by giving their children freedom as they grow older, and the hard decision to reign your technically adult children back in as they continue to make mistakes. This is a central theme in the Janie books, due to Janie's kidnapping, but it's normally shown in the context of minor children, and less people that the state claims are able to make their own decisions.
A good continuation on the series. Has me excited to read the next!

A great story about choices and relationships and how both can go sour. It was so sad to see Janie lose her rock, but I think she truly grew as a person and learned just how strong she can be on her own.

Continuation of the Janie series. This time it mainly focused on Reeve who has gone to college and become a DJ. He uses his time at the station to broadcast "janies" which are stories about Janie's kidnapping.

誘拐事件→新しい家族との再開→溶け込むことの難しさ、と来て、ここで終わるかと思いきやtwist and turn の3巻。
主人公は信頼する相手からの大きな裏切りを経験するとともに、いつも信頼できる頼れる大きな存在だった幼なじみにも弱さやずるさがあることを知り成長する。
ストーリーに大きな展開をもたらし、お見事！
