Chapter 15/16

It's funny how in the first ten chapters, things barely happened, and everything just dragged on. Now in just two chapters, I could whip through it quickly and be somewhat indulged in what's happening.
In these two chapters, the following happened: Janie continues her fake attitude towards her parents, whom she love, but she is dying to sort things out in her head. Her mother had signed up for family counselling, which her father and her both strongly disagree in letting somebody else in their privacy. Reeve and Janie's relationship grows; they are now officially going out. However, Janie and her conflicts in New Jersey keeps on interrupting their relationship, and their focus constantly differ. Reeve, eyes on Janie is starting to grow tired, yet still tolerated Janie's focus and mind on New Jersey and the kidnapping issue. Reeve tells his lawyer sister Lizzie, who then hypothesizes that Hannah, was the one who kidnapped Janie, making Janie's parents story true, because they too were blinded from the truth. In the end, Janie's distraction of this issue brought her an argument with Reeve, friendship with Sarah-Charlotte, who I find quite inconsiderate, not only does she not notice her best friend's worried behavior( eating less, constantly zoning out), but blames her for not paying attention to her guy problems.
One thing I find quite dumb of Janie, is how she clipped the milk carton onto her notebook. She dropped her notebook, and when her mother saw the milk carton, she quickly put on a fake smile with a heart attack inside, grabbed the book, left it in her room and went out with Reeve. It would've been quite easy for her mother to go upstairs and just look at what she was hiding, fortunately her mother didn't notice Janie's baby picture on the milk carton.
As this book progresses, I see reasons for this being banned. The idea of the novel attracts young readers, as I would've found this interesting between grade five to eight, yet it also tags along sexual ideas that would easily influence teenagers at that age. For example, along with all the frustrations Janie has been having with this, she and Reeve continue to flirt, and have somewhat sexual behaviour as this book describes Janie's satisfaction and want towards Reeve. As well, I think the twisted cult and the mentally messed up Hannah would make a child think different, or get scared.
