Whatever Happened to Janie?

Whatever Happened to Janie is the second book in the Janie Johnson series. With the cliffhanger ending of The Face on the Milk Carton I could not wait to start Whatever Happened to Janie. I was reading while in the chaos of moving and I almost every night I fell asleep with my Nook in my hands.

Janie or Jennie as she is now being called is living with her biological family and trying to adjust to suddenly having four siblings and a new set of parents. Missing all that she knows Janie tries to immerse herself into the role and life of Jennie to make her new family happy. Things do not go well though and Janie struggles between the two identities as her siblings expect her to suddenly become their long lost sister overnight. 

I do not have any siblings so in a way I could understand Janie being suddenly overwhelmed by having several children wanting her to just suddenly become one of the family. Janie's biological parents were bit more understanding with how things were going and willing to give her time. However with the tensions high and everyone wanting something different Janie is struggling to adjust and embrace her new identity. 

While I did not enjoy Whatever Happened to Janie as much as the Face on the Milk Carton I am going to continue on with the series since I want to know if Janie will end up embracing both her sets of parents.
