Oooh. That was really good!! I thought there was something but then the something that I thought was just half (or a quarter) of what the something truly is!! Amazing.

The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan is about a girl who six years before witnessed a murder that she can't remember, putting her family in the Witness Security Program. Since then, she has been on the run with her WITSEC agent, Mark, after her mother died in a car crash and her father committed suicide. Sloane Sullivan is taking on her 18th new identity, but it is to be her last since there has been a confession to the murder that she witnessed, so in nine more weeks, she will leave WITSEC, go to college, and be on her own. Mark has taught her to survive in any situation until Sloane enrolls in her new school and finds that one of the students in her class is her old friend Jason Thomas who lived next door to her in her old neighborhood. Will he recognize Sloane even though she is going by a new name and has changed her appearance? She hopes not because that would mean another move and another new identity.
The end of this book is excellent, but prior to that, there are so many things that distract the reader from the story. There are several detailed flashbacks to places Sloane and Mark lived and people they met in the last six years that slow the story down considerably, and there are so many details that require suspension of disbelief. Also, the book tries to be both the story of teenage angst and adolescence as well as a cunning mystery, but never really settles on one or the other. However, the story is interesting and a couple of clever twists at the end make it worth the read.
