Abigail's Reviews > Looking for JJ

I read this book when I was young and it has never left my mind...except the title escaped me. I actually went on r/tipofmytongue to find the title and I'm so grateful I did! This book is a great character study about PTSD and trauma. The characters are so impeccably written for what is considered a young adult novel. Carol Jones is one of the most detestable villains in YA literature, and honestly she's more deplorable than a lot of villains in most of the books I read. The photographer scene will make you sick to your stomach. This book is VERY tricky to come by in Canada but if you can find it, it's the darkest YA thriller that's lived in my mind for nearly 20 years.
