Two girls, bound by the abandonment of their mothers, learn to face & survive the world together - until one of them goes missing. Though this book was slow at times, I found the story touching, easily relatable, and sure, a little dramatic. But I loved the platonic element between the two girls, Miranda & Syd. Romance was not the center of the story, which was refreshing, and I liked that Miranda was not a passive protagonist.

3.5 stars in my book :) Worth the read.

While nothing new, it is well executed
The structure of this jam-packed, fast paced novel is well-laid out, moving from the protagonist's voice to a mysterious person continuously. While the enigmatic chapters were less than mysterious, as I figured out who it was near the beginning, it is clear and not too overdone. It is sad as there are many mothers treated this way especially through the systems, not believed and thought of as unfit. Hence it seems realistic with a sense of tension throughout

Usual chaotic comedy
As with a lot of these American comedies, it's brash, over the top and totally in your face, with a dollop of moral ethics. A mother, stretched to the limits, decides to let go of being perfect and do what she would rather do. She is judged as a result by other mothers, insecure with their own issues of attempting to reach perfection. It's a little silly, and I switched off engaging after a while.

The usual Hollywood C-rate comedy.
