"This is one of those books that stays with you after you turn the last page and put the book back on the shelf. It is a well written story of a 10 year old girl who does something awful and has to live with that memory for the rest of her life. Not an easy read but a thought provoking one." — Susie (4 out of 5 stars)

" I found this book so hard to get into that i didnt eeven finish it which is saying something because i rarely leave a book halfway.It just wasnt intresting enough for me i guess.The storyline did make sense but im more of a fantasy person.Thoses who like mystery and suspence would very much enjoy this book though. "
" Loved this book, the ending was quite sad but it kind of only made me give this book 4 stars, interesting finding out the mystery about what Jennifer did when she was young and what she has to go through now, a moving book and a good read. "

" Out of all the books i havbe read in my whole intire life Looking for JJ has got top be the BEST ONE!!!!!!!! "
" I enjoyed this book. I did find the flashes between now and then a little awkward and I didn't really like the ending. I felt that we were left hanging. But it was a good read. It kept me intrigued until the end. "
" Ages 13+ (some sex, violence, pornography mentions) "
" Such an amazing book!!!!!! I recommened this to many people!!! Best book I have ever read! :D "
" Mystery book about a child murder case. The details of the murder are drawn out for ages. "
" i just got dis book and im about 2 read it so ill let you know if its good on not on my update "
" The begining was good but the middle was just ok. IT ends horribly. It's a dead end and leaves a LOT of questions. There is no happy ending. Not even close. There is just tragity, happieness, then more tragity, more tragity then it ends. "
" I read this haunting book for the NETBA and it certainly deserved to be in that shortlist. "
" My students bought me this for xmas actually a good read, if your into tourtured childhooded things you may like but worth a try if you don't (i usually don't) "
" Action packed, would hate to live this kind of life. "
" A sensitive look at guilt, victimization, rehabilitation, love, repentance, media hounding, and the human spirit. "
" its a realy good book a bout a poor girl have to read it its sad but good;) "
" One of my favorite books by far - I finished it in one sitting. It's a bit challenging to please me when I read books, mostly because I stick so closely to YA romance fiction books, and this was a little out of my comfort zone. I'm glad I did read it though! I would recommend it. "
" Reviewed for LMC. Found it pretty depressing. "
" Found this book randomly, but enjoyed reading it...though the hard book cover gave me a nightmare. Anyhow, it's a great YA mystery book. Wished Frankie found Kate. "
" This is brilliantly written... but could give you nightmares. "
" Very depressing and disturbing. Found it on a list of most disturbing YA books of all time or something like that. Told from the perspective if a child killer who has grown up and been released from prison. Impossible to put down, but left me feeling sick. "
" Ugh, this is boring and written strangely. I'm abandoning it at p 68. "
" This book upset me. She killed a dog and a child and basically got away with it. They kept blaming her childhood and played the sympathy card. We know right from wrong regardless of how bad our past is.... "
" Very good but a bit confusing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :):0 :) :):) :) "
" This YA book was pretty good, kept me reading. I thought the author did a good job making the reader both feel badly for JJ and feel repulsed by what she did. I thought it ended really abruptly, otherwise a good story. "
" My favourite book. Everything about it was brilliant. The book did not leave my side in the 2 days it took me to read it. "
