5.0
Well after reading this, I had to take a few minutes to think about it before reviewing. This is one of those books that will stay with me for a really long time. This book deals with some very heavy and dark themes. *trigger warning for child sexual abuse*.
12 years ago, 6 year old Jenny goes missing, taken off the sidewalk on her way to a friend's house. Now she's back after escaping from her kidnappers. But as her family welcomes her back...questions begin to pile up...and is she really safe now that she's home?
This book was at times disturbing and disconcerting. It had an very interesting plot and the character development was well written. I have a hard time saying I enjoyed this one because of the disturbing subject matter...but it was a good story and I was unable to put it down. I needed to know how it ended. Have to say I was very surprised by the ending. Definitely a 5 star read, even with the heavy subject matter.
