This was good and fairly realistic in that I'm sure such events occur, but probably with worse consequences in real life. This was a sheltered 14 year old that was naive and reckless as teenagers can be. It is a scary scenario and it is told alternately from the perspective of the runaway daughter and the perspective of the mother who finds the note. The father is, by far, the most sensible one in this family, but we only experience him through the others' eyes. While it is a good story with some tension, my biggest problem with this book was how stupid the mother actually is. I liked it, despite her character, though. It has food for thought, especially for parents with teenagers.
