And her freefall wandering just gets dull after a while - since she is in the past and Sophie is in the future, you know she doesn't find her baby. The fact that her baby is just called Baby, she doesn't even give her a name, is offputting and annoying. The entire way her sections are written is confusing and makes it hard to relate to her. It's a story about a girl who wanders aimlessly doing boring things with uncompelling people until she stumbles onto the truth in the last 20 pages.Īnd Emmy is an extremely hard character to get into. This isn't a story about a girl who finds out that she was kidnapped and rebuilds her life. So even though that is a MAJOR selling point of the book, you spend the entire thing reading to learn what you already know by reading the dust jacket. What is pitched isn't quite what you get.įirst of all, Sophie doesn't even find out that she was kidnapped until the very end. It sounded so good from the cover description and the reviews and that was the problem. I found this book to be a giant disappointment.
