Synopsis:
Mila has an exceptional talent for reading a room sensing hidden facts and unspoken emotions from clues that others overlook. So when her father’s best friend, Matthew, goes missing from his upstate New York home, Mila and her beloved father travel from London to find him. She collects information about Matthew from his belongings, from his wife and baby, from the dog he left behind and from the ghosts of his past—slowly piecing together the story everyone else has missed. But just when she’s closest to solving the mystery, a shocking betrayal calls into question her trust in the one person she thought she could read best.
My Thoughts + Opinions:
I hated this book. It was so boring and very slow. There was hardly any character development. I thought it would be a short, easy read. It was short but I was forcing myself to get through it. I don't have much to say about this terrible book and I know many people might disagree considering it got a 3.57 star rating on goodreads which is okay. Mila didn't sound like a twelve year old or even a mature twelve year old. This is a spoiler moment but I will try and not spoil it to much. Her (something) was very unbelievable and didn't seem real. I think Meg Rosoff wanted something to excite the book and she thought that would make it more exciting but she was wrong. It made the book feel very forced and the adventure was okay but not as great as I would of expected. The only part I enjoyed was when they arrived in America and Mila realizes how different British culture is than American culture I also enjoyed how she loved to solve mysteries and problems.
