The Voice on the Radio

The Voice on the Radio is the third book in the Janie Johnson series. I feel that The Voice on the Radio has been the weakest story line in the series so far. It made sense for a follow up with how things went with Janie meeting her biological parents but I sort of had closure, things ended up going well for Janie.

Janie has decided she needs to live with the Johnsons but keep in touch with the Springs. Life is going perfectly for her until Reeve leaves for college. Missing Reeves Janie becomes closer to her biological siblings as she slowly adjusts to dodging the media and trying to figure out her life.

Reeve is struggling at college, having never cared much about academics he looks for a way to fit in and finds that through the college radio station. As a newbie he is given a one hour time slot at 2am in the morning until he starts to tell stories about Janie or as he calls them "Janies." Totally engrossed in filling the time slot Reeve talks and talks without any care in the world. Things get better when he moved to a prime time and given two days a week to tell more "Janies."

The writing stayed consistent as more characters point of views were added in. The story line just felt weak this time and did not seem to focus on Janie much. It felt like more was about Stephen and Jodie dealing with their demons.
