Overall Rating: 2.5/5First, I would like to thank the author, Julie Ann Knudsen for giving me a copy of this book to review.In the Middle of Nowhere is a story about a young girl trying to find herself in a new place.  After her father's death, Willow and her mother were forced to move to a small island with her younger brother James and live in their uncle's summer house.  Willow struggles through life, making mistakes and learning from them as must young girls do.I thought Willow's character was very well developed.  She was relatable, and all in all, acted like most young girls.  The rest of the characters, although they showed potential, were not that compelling, and I had mixed feelings for most of them.  Michael, for instance, was sweet and had a great outlook on life, but I felt that I just didn't know enough about him (other than he was sick) to feel anything for him.I liked the relationship between Willow and Michael and was very disappointment that I didn't get to see much of it.  At the end, I was left feeling like I had missed out on something really great.In the Middle of Nowhere was a good book but did not make it into my favorites list.  If you are looking for an easy summer read, then In the Middle of Nowhere is definitely worth checking out.
