The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Cooney
Did not finish book. Stopped at 9%.

I don't like the way it's written at all. I only read a little bit it managed to irritate me in these short few pages. One moment we're talking about the main character, next it's about college and her friends, then for a short moment it's about her finding out she's probably been kidnapped, but then it drags along about how her body is moving on its own, then there's this Reeve guy(?), and then we're talking about her possibly being kidnapped again?? What the fuck am I supposed focus on?
