Ages: 16-100

This book is really hard to get into, but if you do make it through the whole book, the ending is good. I finished this book with a good feeling, and the last 75-100 pages were actually really great. Although this is my least favorite Cecelia Ahern book, she has a knack for writing. I love her style of writing, and her ability to make magic and fairy tales come to life for adults.

This book is about a place called Here, where all missing things and people end up. Sandy Shortt is a 34 year old woman who has had an obsession searching for missing things since she was 10 and a girl in her class dissappeared. Sandy now runs a missing persons agency, and agrees to help a man named Jack find his brother who has been missing for over a year.

When Sandy wanders off into the woods right before she is about to meet with Jack, she ends up in a place called Here. She meets some great people there, and finds a lot of people she had been searching for for years. No one can get out of Here even though they all have tried. Will Sandy find Jenny-May Butler, the girl who started her searching obsession? Will she find Jack's brother Donal? Will she get out of Here? Read this book and find out.
