What Mr.Mattero did

I skipped to the ending I this story and I kinda spoiled it but what I didn't like about one of the main charcters in my story (Claire). I'm not liking how they lied and said the things their music teacher did when he didn't. Just because her friend didn't get ther part in the music concert thingy. Even though she said she didn't feel right doing it, she still went along with it. And it caused this whole big mess. She ended up transferring, her shy friend Suzanne who she's known since like kindergarten went to catholic school. And the stupid (my opinion) Jenna caused her parents to get a divorce. Well not really because of what she did but because her mom was cheating. And now Claire can't talk to either one of them. But Claire was already messed up because she is practiclly anorexic. She barley eats and she randomly talks about calories in anything she's about to eat. Even her mom gave up (exact words) on trying to feed her. I was so happy when Phoebe her new friend told her she could eat, and like burn it off. I mean she still talks about swimming way more than needs, to burn more calories off. But it's a start. Overall I don't really like this story. One because of the characters. Two because the idea makes no sense. No one would ever do something like that. No matter how brainless they may be. And three because of the way it was told. Through the eyes of one of the three girls and the daughter of the music teacher accused. I would of liked if they could of told it through all 3 girls and the teacher himself.

What Janie Found

My book is the last in the series. I have read the first and the second but skipped the third because I couldn't find it. But this books keeps going back to what happened in the previous book, so I have pretty good understanding of it. So Janie-well really Jennie- was kidnapped when she was just three years old by a Hannah Javenson. Hannah was "different" Asa child growing up. Her parents Frank and Miranda Javenson thought that he problem was that she didn't have any friends, because she she had a good life. Her parents weren't rich, but they lived descently. After Hannah leftbfor college, she did make friends, people part of a cult. She lost all contact with her parents until years later she showed up with little Janie. She left her with her parents never to be found again. Frank and Miranda had fell for the lie that Janie was their granddaughter. But in fear of the cult coming after her. They ran off with janie and changed their last name to Johnson. Very thing was fine until Janie recognized her face on the milk carton at school. Throughout the first and second book. Janie meets her real family, but eventually moves back in with fake family.she falls in love with her next door neighbor. And no one knows where Hannah is. As if she fell of the face of the earth. In the third book. Reeve heads off to college and tells Janie's story for his job at the radio station. Janie gets mad and braks up with him. In this book now, Reeve is trying to win Janie back. Frank had a stroke and heart attack and is in aroma. Oh, and Janie found out that her dad has been supporting his real daughter-kidnapper Hannah- which means he's known where she has lived. Janie sets off with reeve and her real brother from her real family Brian to meet Hannah. But they refuse to let her do it so she is lying. Her excuse to even go to Boulder, Colorado is that her real older brother Stephen goes to college there. So no one suspects a thing except Brian and reeve who are trying to keep a close eye on her.
I find this series crazy yet it keeps pulling me in. Thaey always end the book with a new big mystery. So you can't stop and just put the book down. You have to keep reading. I like how although this big issue is going on. There still is time for love, and happy family moments. But there is always a twist to remind you what the big picture is in this story. The plot would seem crazy but everything really flows. What I don't like is how the story is told. In third person. I like first or second but I hate third person stories. I really don't like that Janie and Reeve are broken up, because he's been there from the beginning. First as a friend then boyfriend. And even though they aren't together, he still is there for her. So that shows a lot and I think they will eventually get back together. When I think Bout Janie's living situation, with her fake parents rather than the real parents. I'm torn. Because iw understand that you grew up with this family practically all your life. But I also feel sad for the other parents. Because they finally found their daughter. And they can't have her. They vist and talk over phones but they will never be a real family. But in the book. The real parents are okay with janie living with her fake parents.
