Publisher Description
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 thought she had has more dire consequences than she ever imagined.

"Definitely my favorite of the three! It seems like my opinion has been the opposite of most readers: I thought the first book was just okay, the second book was pretty good, and the third book was really good. "Gone" had what I was looking for all along, more insight in Janie's character and her background, a good plot, and far more emotional depth. The only things that bothered me were that I thought the characters were a little too harsh to each other sometimes, particulary Cabel. I really like his character, but in this book it just seemed that he was occasionally acting like a jerk for no particular reason, and I thought the swearing was a little excessive, especially the "f" bombs. I mean, there's swearing to get your point across and to give what you're saying a little "oomph," and then there's swearing for the sake of swearing. All that said, this was still a really good book, which I very much enjoyed. In fact, I read it in one sitting! The books are so short I recommend reading the previous two (Wake and then Fade) just to get enough backstory to get to this third one, the real gem (in my opinion)."

" I liked this book better than the second book, but I was expecting more for an ending. "

" Good end to the series. Not as bad as the bad reviews said, but not nearly as great as the good ones made it to be. Actual review to come....maybe "

" I like how the author wrapped this series up. It was easy, pretty, or fairytale-like. It felt more real. Life is messy and hard, and sometimes there is no right, easy, or perfect choice! "

" This series started off good and exiting but as the books went on they got more dull. By Gone they just got horrible, I could barely get through the book, the plot was boring and unthought out to me, and the obstacles were just annoying I tried to finish it and I just couldn't. "

" I really hope that this isnt the end!!!!!!! "

" All finished this series and am glad I read it. I think it will be an easy sell to teens and some adults who love the YA stuff. "
— Penny, 10/17/2013 -
" Decent end of the trilogy. Language definitely not for the younger audience. I was hoping for some good news, even a mediocre happy ending. Not happening. More like resignation and acceptance. Reality tells us that's more likely to happen, not the fairy tale. "
— Lynette, 10/15/2013 -
" I'm not a big fan of Lisa McMann's style of writing, but the story itself was interesting enough to keep me turning the pages. The 2nd and 3rd books were better and made me want to read more. "
— Ladonna, 4/4/2013 -
" This was okay as the other books, I just....er this was a iffy ending, as always could be so much better. "
