A review by katemarie99
In Between by Jenny B. Jones
4.0
16-year old girl in foster care? Check.
Driving to her new home with her social worker? Check.
Feels sad and abandoned even though she didn't like the social worker that much? Check.
Family is sweet-but-eccentric? Check.
Girl does something awful? Check.
And then family-who-was-supposedly-really-nice get all vengeful and disappointed and distrustful? Whoa, whoa, whoa!
THAT was not supposed to happen. Up until THAT happened, this book was a CARBON COPY of Runaway by Dandi Daley Mackall.
But then it takes this huge departure. That was the part where the family is suppose to be like, "You're more important to us than any theatre and we're just glad you're okay!" And, for the record, if I were Katie, I nernerver would've forgiven them for their reaction.
Even though it was totally predictable, Jones is hysterical.
