Laurel Mack, Ellie’s mother, has even met a man and, to her surprise, is interested in seeing more of him. Ten years later, still shattered and blown apart by Ellie’s absence, her family is trying to move on without her in their separate ways. Where has she disappeared? Has she run away? Did someone kidnap her? Is she still alive? And how can her family pick up the pieces after she’s gone? Then one day, Ellie is suddenly gone, and no one knows why. And the two of them are lovely people, which makes everything all the more ideal. She even has an equally perfect first boyfriend. Although Ellie might be a little precocious (what teenager isn’t?), she is nearly perfect in every way. If you’ve read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold or watched the film based on the book, the feel of this novel is similar in that eerie-I want to look away, but I can’t-kind of way.Įllie Mack is whom every teenage girl wants to be and the kind of kid every mother of a teenage daughter wants to have.
