renatasnacks 's review for:

The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Cooney
3.0

In a lot of respects, this is pretty dated--like first of all does any school have milk in cartons anymore? and if they do, they definitely don't have missing children? The fat-shaming and food obsession actually isn't dated exactly--that shit's still all over contemporary YA--but it's still gross.

STILL at its heart there is just something so compelling about the core premise of this!
