An artist reluctantly agrees to look for a missing teen. Enjoyed the interaction of the teen's mother with the two women trying to help find her daughter. The condition of Laura's apartment and her lack of appetite are very real and reflect her sense of helplessness and her despondency over the whereabouts of her child. That part of the story was the most real . The description of teen secrets and ability to circumvent parental restrictions was both amusing and alarming. While the abusive relationship that caused the girl and her mother to be in hiding to begin with is not highly developed it is clear enough to make the dangerous situation real and the need for secrecy from police understandable. One thing I would suggest is that the author review more closely her description of Freddy's outfits--I just don't see her holding a purse in her lap while wearing a windbreaker like the one worn by James Dean. There could be more editing for repetition even in places where two sentences say exactly the same thing, All in all, a captivating read.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
