The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Cooney

3.0

I remember reading this book and all of the subsequent ones in the series when I was a teenager. Going on that memory I originally gave this a 5 Star rating. This weekend I decided I needed a quick read and chose to borrow this from the local library... I kind of regret that memory shattering move. I found myself being irritated with all of the sexual angst the entire time I read. I don't understand the necessity, and it mostly seemed forced rather than realistic emotion. I still like the premise of the kidnapping and the mystery of how it happened and what Janie would do about it, but it's definitely not a 5 Star book for me any more.
