jkropik06 's review for:
The Face on the Milk Carton
by Caroline B. Cooney
Book 2 of the 2017 Summer Biannual Bibliothon. Completed the challenge read a banned book.
I am not a fan of this book. The only reason it has 2 and not 1 is because of the idea. The idea of someone recognizing them self as a missing person from a decade ago is brilliant to me. Too bad that's as far as this novel went.
First off, these kids were supposedly in high school, yet I felt as if they were elementary schoolers. I was so thrown off every time Reeve, a high school senior, mentioned sex.
Second, I didn't like the writing style at all. I just couldn't get into it.
Although I liked the idea of the plot, it felt poorly done while reading.
Lastly, I HATED the main character. She was so damn annoying. I understand that she was a year younger than she thought, but that would make her 15. She acted 5, the age at which she believed she was kidnapped.
In the end I'm not sure if I'm going to continue. The same issues will be in the follow-ups, but I'm very curious as to how this story ends. I will probably just look up what happens. Very disappointed.
