17 Gone Nova Ren Suma Books

Grade: C+

Seventeen-year-old Lauren sees dead people. Specifically, dead seventeen year-old-girls who went missing and were never found, runaways. No one else can see these ghosts, not her psychologist-in-training mother or her boyfriend. She's looking for Abby, who went missing from a camp near her school, certain Abigail wasn't a runaway like some of the others. Soon all the ghosts are gathering in the burnt down main house on the property she rents with her mother and Lauren is responsible for all the girls who will be forever seventeen.

17 AND GONE is a bizarre story. Quite early I decided that Lauren was an unreliable narrator, and I had a idea why. The ghosts had to be distracting and I could see why she became obsessed with solving Abby's presumed murder. Having finished the book, I can't think of anything about Lauren's personality that jumped out at me. Her head was in the clouds, listening to the ghosts give her clues. If I ever went missing, I'd want a Lauren looking for me.

17 AND GONE is often a confusing read, because Lauren spent most of the novel in her head with the ghosts. I thought Nova Ren Suma could have added more tension and picked up the pace to make for a more in-your-gut plot.

THEMES: (I'm going light on the themes to avoid spoilers) runaways, missing teenagers

This isn't the type of story I'd tell people to run out and read. It's not a book I'll put on my reread list. I wish I waited for a price drop. I did enjoy 17 AND GONE, just not enough to rave about it.

17 Gone Nova Ren Suma Books Reviews

What this author does best is voice. She creates a character who comes completely alive in your head. Yes, she did this with 17 & Gone, but just a smidge less strongly than Imaginary Girls. Maybe it was because I'd already been blown away by Imaginary Girls, so this one wasn't as huge for me--but it was still huge. I still ADORE Nova Ren Suma's writing. It's deep and dark and slithers into the cracks and crevices of your mind. I found myself closing the book now and then not because it was boring but because it was intense and emotional and I needed to breathe.

The only negative I can point out is that the book has moments of rambly-ness, but they are never long and the voice is so strong it carries you through.
Firstly, I love Nova, so it's tough to review this because of my bias. Imaginary Girls was a favorite of mine and so I was quick to order 17&Gone, but I didn't find the same connection I had with IG. I suppose it was the number of characters introduced that pulled me away from the storyline, and the connection I should have felt with the MC was lost. I just didn't link emotionally with this one, but I still love Nova. Still love her writing style and will always buy one of her books!
This book was just the right kind of creepy. I'm not sure how to leave good reviews without giving away spoilers, so don't read this review if you don't want at least mild spoilers. It took me a while to read this book -- not sure why -- but it was worth it. I love books told from the point of view of the mentally unstable. You never whether what's happening is real or imagined. It's fantastic. Anyway, I'm glad I read this book and will read more by this author.
Fantastic book! I will not spoil anything, but this is a great exploration of issues facing the protagonist, and almost certainly not what you were expecting.
Lauren is driven to find out what happened to Abby, a girl in a missing poster. What's motivating her the most is her ability to see the girl's ghost. Abby was 17 when she went missing, and she's not the only one who's 17 and gone. Lauren is visited by other girls who cloud her vision and surroundings. They fill her with stories about what happened before their disappearances. People think Lauren is crazy. Is she? She usually seems sane and haunted, while at other times she appears to be an unreliable narrator. I loved the storyline and atmosphere of this YA ghost story.
I'm not sure how to really rate this book -3 stars is probably a bit generous really. I thought I was going to be reading a mystery or a thriller but instead I got to spend time inside the head of a teenager with mental illness. I thought it was weird most of the time.
Lauren is a 17 year old girl who became obsessed with other 17 year-old girl s who had gone missing. she sees and talks to them and dreams about them. I had a hard time distinguishing between mental delusion and reality- as did Lauren and I suppose that was the author's point, but I'm much too analytical to enjoy being taken on a head trip journey. I guess it's just been too long since I was 17, but I couldn't relate to Lauren.
This is one of those books that broke me a little. There is such a well done atmosphere through the writing in this one, a constant emotional oppression that kept me captivated, engaged, and feeling so much throughout. The book leads up to one defining moment are the ghosts real, or is it in her head? I debated both sides of that as I read, and while I went into that moment with a pretty solid guess of which way it would go, it still hit me hard when whatever the reason is comes out. This aspect of the story is so impressively, brilliantly done, it will always make this a stand out book for me. There is so much to love about this, but that single element defines this book as amazing, and talented to me.

Though I have to also admit, Jamie, the boyfriend, made this book pretty dang awesome too. He doesn't run when things get hard, but he's also not a doormat. He's a different kind of guy than often seen in YA, and one that melted me more than once.
