Picture Me Gone by Meg Rosoff
4.0
This is the kind of book you read in one sitting and then digest. I really enjoyed the voice of the MC, Mila. She is somewhat of a contradiction, seeming wise, but also innocent and passive.
Her home life is great. She lives in London with cool, cultivated parents who adore her. Her mother plays the violin and her father translates books.
The plot revolves around her father's best friend Matthew. Mila and her father were just about to visit him and his wife and child in America, when he vanished.
Secrets and past history galore, crazy life choices that have big consequences, and clay feet. It's all here as well as that moment when the world rights itself again. Beauty really is in the details.
Rosoff is just a great writer!
