the story had so much potential but it was executed badly. the mystery reveal was underwhelming and it felt rushed; it would've been better if janie figured it out herself. also, her friends, especially reeve were assholes for invalidating her dilemma. kidnapping is a serious matter and he was basically telling her to get over it
I had some high hopes for this book and they all came crashing down.
Let me start by saying at the beginning of the book there's a dear reader letter and the first thing that annoyed me is that the author gave away information. Second thing is that she said "I never planned to write more about Janie" I call bull honkey. If I read this book and I actually liked it and it ended how it did and there was never another book is be absolutely FURIOUS.
Moving away from that and to the book itself - Janie is an annoying character. VERY annoying. I could have done without the love story because that was stupid. And lastly why couldn't it just be a good old kidnapping and the parents were crazy? It was just so lame.
So disappointed in this book.

1.5 stars. This was one of my favorite books as a kid. Turns out, I was a dumb kid. This book was awful!! No one was making logical decisions and Reeve?!?! He plays the boyfriend of the main character who just found out that she's been kidnapped, and rather than being supportive he complains because she talks about it too much (?!?!) and he just wants to have sex?!? I have no idea why I liked this book so much. It gets the half a star though for the cool concept. But that's literally where the good things end with this one.

Didn't really enjoy this book for a few reasons:
1) Janie's age seemed to change. One second she's talking like a 16 year old, then next she sounds 6.
2) she was so fixated and kept saying what she wanted but never did it or followed through
3) wasn't a fan of how it was written. And it wasn't really all that exciting

I have read this whole series 5 times and never got bored! Once you start reading it you just get sucked in!
