Review: Poignant and touching story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 12 7, 2013
A poignant and deeply-moving story about a teenager, Adam, whose mother goes out to buy milk from the corner shop and doesn't return.  The plot, its twists, and the characters themselves make this a real page-turner.  The characters in this novel felt completely real to me, and I shared Adam's journey of confusion, emotional pain and hope.  The interactions with his father, his friends, the police, and his new friend, Skye, felt genuine and engaging.  It made such an impression on me that I read this book twice.
