Missing at 17 Christine Conradt Books

Found this author's online interviews through Film Courage and I love the 'at 17' Lifetime movies so I figured I'd buy her book. It wasn't lifechanging but it was definitely a fun read. (I reserve 5 stars for books that are groundbreaking in some way). It only took me about three hours to get through the whole book and I read it one sitting. It honestly didn't occur to me to put it down. It follows a girl named Candace who runs away from home and ends up bunking up with this hot guy and the romance builds but he's involved in some shady stuff and she finds herself getting pulled into it. This all happens while she's dealing with finding her biological mother and brother and trying to figure out how she feels about her adoptive parents who recently got divorced. The book moves fast and the author does a great job of presenting that teenage angst that I remember having at 17 too. Looking forward to reading the other two books in the series and seeing the TV movies as well!

Missing at 17 Christine Conradt Books Reviews

Another great read by Author, Christine Conradt! The writing draws you in immediately and I read this entire book in one day. Couldn't put it down.
What a great summer book. The writing is crisp and sucks you into the story from page one. It's also a Lifetime movie so more summer fun.
Loved this book! The main character, Candace, is dealing with an emotionally traumatizing discovery, and we follow her journey as she works through turmoil, betrayal, romance, and (sometimes dangerous) consequences. Candace felt incredibly real and complex, and I appreciated that the book focused on her emotional journey rather than get mired in the typical plot-heavy thriller acrobatics that are common in YA novels. Highly recommend!
Missing at 17 is a very easy read. The story line moves along with just enough detail and description! Being an seasoned adult reading a Teen novel, I liked the idea it speaks a message to teens. However, it is not overbearing to distract a teen reader from enjoying the story. I did see the movie and with novels, it is refreshing to learn more details about the characters. I do recommend catching the TV movie on Lifetime/ LMN. It reairs numerous times a year.
Missing at 17 is quite a misleading title when it comes to the actual story within.

Candace, our MC, does not actually go “missing”, as such—she runs away from home and her parents report her missing. She is found after two to three days. It isn't all that dramatic, lol.

So, this story is about Candace, as stated. She finds out some upsetting news—something her parents have been hiding from her her whole life—and runs away in the heat of her anger and confusion. She meets a boy, of course, because we really need some male to save the day; to make this good book. *eyeroll* .. The guy in question is Toby, who is 22 years old. Keep in mind, Candace is only 17. Not a huge age gap in my personal opinion, but statutory rape is a thing. Just saying. Not to mention, Candace is vulnerable upon meeting this guy and it just seems as if he takes advantage.

This book is pitched as a thriller. It wasn't very thrilling to me. There was a little bit of thrill or suspense nearing the end of the book, but it was very short-lived and felt very rushed. It was almost as if it was an afterthought and just had the purpose of tricking you into thinking the book had a great ending, when it really doesn't. If anything, the little scene where a drug dealer goes wild with a gun just serves to make this book a little silly; because the scene doesn't really match up with the rest of the story. It was a clear case of trying too hard.

Was there anything good about it? Sure! I did enjoy the family aspect of the story. Candace is, understandably, upset when she discovers her parents' secret. She is also bitter due to their divorce and blames her mother for it. Over the course of the story Candace learns to better understand her parents and eventually forgives them. She even finds new people to enrich her life. It was a sweet story if you were to leave out the parts with Toby. He sort of ruined it for me. It was a weird instalove thing and it wasn't done well.

Overall, this book was just alright. It was entertaining enough, even if some of that entertainment came from laughing at the ridiculous romance and drug-dealer story line. It was a book I read at night while trying to settle in to bed (I have trouble sleeping) and it did keep me hooked, corny as it was. It's a fast read and I'd say it'd be worth a shot for the HEA and family drama.
Could not finish the book. Gave it away. Its okay I bought it because of a review.
