Review For The Night I Disappeared
Rating:
5 / 5
Julie Reece Deaver's The Night I Disappeared was a great fictional book. She has a lot of imagination, which makes this book very interesting.
It tells about a girl, Jamie Tessman, who just left her hometown in California to go with her mother to Chicago on a business trip. Her mother is a successful and famous attorney. Everyone knows Jamie for that, but She is way different from her mother. Her father died when she was young, and ever since then she hasn't fit in anywhere... except when she is with her, sort-of boyfriend, Webb. They are so perfect together and she could be with him forever, until she finds out that he has never really been there for her at all. With the help of her new (and only) friend Morgan and Morgan's aunt she discovers a secret that has been keeping her separate from the rest of the world. She starts seeing things in Chicago, and she starts to think that she is slowly becoming crazy. When she finally gets the help she needs, she has to choose between Webb and reality.
At first when I started reading this book I didn't quite understand but then I learned that the whole point of the story was for Jamie to overcome her fears. I felt like I was with her through every step of the way, and every time she got just a little bit closer to reality. I thought this was a great book and really enjoyed reading it. I will never forget this book.
Long gone

Jamie Tessman, the main character, is not too popular, and seems to hate her school, and her classmates. She barely has any friends, and one of her best friends is Webb. Usually Jamie skips school near the end of the day to meet him in a cove to cherish the time between them, so that she could forget all the events that have happened earlier when she was younger.
Once Webb says that he is going to go to Europe for a trip, she becomes plagued with unusual daydreams about him. Later, her inner world starts keeping her for longer period of times within these daydreams. She sometimes can't get out of it, and she believes that she is losing her mind. Worst of all, her mother, who is a lawyer, doesn't seem to notice that anything is wrong with her. Jamie meets a new friend when she moves and lives in Chicago for the summer, named Morgan. Morgan notices that Jamie disappears into her inner world for too long one night when she stays with Jamie. She makes sure that she gets some help from her aunt, who is a psychiatrist. Morgan's aunt helps her find out why she gets caught in this inner world.
After finishing the book, I was disappointed since I wanted more to read. Truly, I loved how Julie Reece Deaver wrote this book, she was able to describe a character, you could understand, one who doesn't have special powers, but one who has something trapped in her mind which she can't let out, to scare to. If you enjoy suspense, suspenseful and some mystery, then, you will definitely enjoy the book, The Night I Disappeared.
This book was a great book

This book wasn't really one of my favorites.Although I really
did enjoy this book I guess it wasn't really my kind of book.
The book really keeps you turning the pages.This book is really
worth 4 stars and I encourage others to read it.
