The Face on the Milk Carton was a favorite of mine as a young teen but
this ending is just too happily ever after. The writing is repetitive and the
characters are flat. The addition of current technology and social networking
is shoehorned in. Janie/Jennie is still conflicted about which parents she
should spend more time with. The only interesting part is seeing into the mind
of her kidnapper, Hannah, as she plots her revenge on the girl she believes
stole her parents and had the easy life she should have had. Only hardcore Janie fans will read this.
