We’ve all carried our regret around like anchors, struggling not to drown. I want to stat in the space between days-the space where I don’t have to worry about letting people down or saying the wrong thing.įriendship is a two-way street, and I’ve been nothing but dead ends. This was my first read by author Laurie Faria Stolarz, but am pretty sure I am gonna go and other published books by her.Įxcept I don’t want to think about tomorrow. There are also some twists in the story, but I had my doubts about those but still those came as more surprise when full story was revealed. Someone losing their independence and sitting in just a room for months. I was really spiraled by Jane’s time as a captive, it was so horrifying. and I felt so pity for Jane because she thought so high of them and they felt more like a people who taunt about things.

But that same care I wasn’t able to see later in the chapters in “Now” part. Also because the story is given by Jane herself, she describes the relationship between her mother, and friend pretty well.

Jane Anonymous is the story about Jane, from Jane’s point of view in a Journal format writing “Then” & “Now”.Īs the story has a “Now”, we immediately know all went well and I would have preferred it divided in first Then and second Now parts.

Now, it’s been three months since “Jane” escaped captivity and returned home. She never would’ve imagined that in her town where nothing ever happens, a series of small coincidences would lead to a devastating turn of events that would forever change her life. She had a part-time job she enjoyed, an awesome best friend, overbearing but loving parents, and a crush on a boy who was taking her to see her favorite band. Then, “Jane” was just your typical 17-year-old in a typical New England suburb getting ready to start her senior year. Bestselling author Laurie Faria Stolarz returns with Jane Anonymous, a gripping tale of a seventeen-year-old girl’s kidnapping and her struggle to fit back into her life after she escapes.
