Gone (Wake, #3)

by Lisa McMann

Things should be great for Janie - she has graduated from high school and is spending her summer with Cabel, the guy she's totally in love with. But deep down she's panicking about how she's going to survive her future when getting sucked into other people's dreams is really starting to take its toll. Things get even more complicated when she meets her father for the very first time -and he's in a coma. As Janie uncovers his secret past, she begins to realize that the choice she thought she had has more dire consequences than she ever imagined.

This was exctremely sad, and often bittersweet, and it took me in some surprising directions, and some obvious directions.

Janie really carried the world on her shoulders, and even when she thought she'd found the perfect solution to her little problem, she realized that the fork was a lot worse than what she had thought in the beginning. And really good for her that Cabe was always so patient!

Captain was great, a real mother-figure for Janie, and my goodness, did she need one.

The end was bittersweet as well, and left me with a feeling that there should be a small epilogue, although at the same time, I was quite satisfied that there was no real happily ever after - it made it more real - no hollywood ending for this series.

The writing was eerily beautiful, and the insight to Janie's character, as well as her growth through the three books was amazing and very nice to follow.
