Picture Me Gone was a quirky book about self discovery, mystery and how our lives are woven through our actions and consequences. Mila is a beautiful and inquisitive girl, with a offbeat inner monologue. She's intuitive and picks up on subtle differences, emotions and quirks that most of us wouldn't notice. She doesn't share a connection to the missing Mathew, apart from him being her father's friend, but her adventure ensures that she's woven into the lives of those around him, which makes her but another piece of the puzzle that is Mathew. The secondary characters are really intriguing, but far too fleeting.
I sense there is a hidden lesson or social message behind Picture Me Gone, but I just couldn't figure out what it was. It's just a quirky adventure in the same vain as John Green or Rachel Cohn. Short and entertaining.
