What We Lost by Sara Zarr

3.0

I thought the plot of this book was great, and I liked how the book started. I felt like Sam was dragging her problems that she had with her family out just a little to long. She kept complaining about her mom, and how little money they had, which made Sam a unlikeable character in my mind. I also didn't like the ending very much, because there was this huge build up to finding Jody, and then she was just found and everybody was fine. The book didn't give a good explanation of how she was abducted and what it was like for living in a cabin with her kidnapper, who killed himself, for days without escape. Even though it had some cons, I did really like the character development and the relationship between Sam and Nick.
