Missing You

Title: Missing You by Meg Cabot
Genre: YA
Rating: 4/5

Missing You is the fifth and final book in Meg Cabot's 1-800-Where-R-You series. It picks up a couple of years after Sanctuary left off. Jess Mastriani, who developed psychic powers after being hit by a bolt of lightning when walking home from school, is living in New York, power-free thanks to a case of post traumatic stress syndrome from helping locate terrorists in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, her attempt at a normal life is cut short when her ex shows up on her doorstep asking for her help in finding his missing sister.

Overall, it's a good book and wraps up the series in a neat little package.. You can tell that there was a gap of time between the writing of the first four books and this one, Cabot's writing style has shifted somewhat, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Jess has matured since the last book, she's no longer a hit first, ask questions later kind of girl. As well, the content is slightly more mature in regards to the romantic relationships of the characters, though I'm sure it will please most fans of the series. Cabot toots her own horn at one point, mentioning the tv series that was based on this series, but she makes it work, Jess claiming that it was a result of all the media interest in her talent, which had been mentioned in the past books. Missing You is a great conclusion to the series and fans will love it.
