This was pretty good. A little disturbing, of course - makes me be very afraid for those kids who do run away from home. I wish the book had had a better editor, a few things seemed to lose their thought or cohesiveness. I hope there is a follow up book, a definite "will read" if so. I will admit, that while I started out feeling sorry for Janice, somewhere in the middle I didn't anymore, I'm sure her life is much different now, but let's face it - at 17/18 we all know everything and she was no different. I wanted to reach through the pages and smack the heck out of her. *laugh* I wonder if she wants to smack herself at 18? Gah, I know I want to rewind and smack myself around too ;)
