Jess Mastriani is feeling pretty good about things, she has a brand new wardrobe from Esprit and a little bit of money saved up from her summer job at a summer camp. The new year of school looks set to be pretty good and the weather still thinks it's summer. But when she returns for the first day of school she is suddenly the most hated person - why? Because Amber is dead. A perky cheerleader, who cared about the world around her, Amber had sat in front of Jess for 6 years in homeroom (not that that made them friends), until that first day back at school.
How is this Jess' fault? Well, Amber was missing before she was killed and Jess was no where to be found...so, ya the whole student body is blaming her and Jess has no escape. Except when Amber's boyfriend (now ex), the star quarterback starts talking to her...well things might just turn out to be okay? Or at least that's what Jess starts to think...
Alright, I'm being a bit cryptic here, I just don't want to spoil anything for you guys. This is, in my opinion, the best 1-800-WHERE-R-U or 1-800-MISSING book yet. It was pretty scary stuff and full of twists I didn't see coming. I also really liked how Douglas comes more to the forefront of this novel and you see his relationship with his sister, which is really sweet. Rob also gets a good starring role, which just goes to show you that good guys can be found anywhere!
So, go on read this one next, it is amazing! Perfect for it's teenage audience, but with enough going on to draw in any reader. Two thumbs way up Miss Cabot! Now onto Sanctuary...
