Ugh. I wish I had only read the first in this series.

Whatever Happened to Janie had a good idea and a good plotline...however, the characters were boring, shallow and immature. Each pair of parents acted overly dramatic and the Springs were the most immature of all. The insisted on calling their daughter Jennie instead of Janie and couldn't see why she loved and felt more comfortable with her old family. I feel like if this had happened in real life, the parents would have been more understanding and less eccentric. Personally this book itself seemed entirely impossible and not nearly as believeable as the debut. Overrall, this book was just a dissappointment.
