There's No Place Like Here

There's No Place Like Here by Cecelia Ahern is a story about Sandy Shortt who since she was 10 was obsessed with finding missing things. Whenever something goes missing whether a sock, stuffed animal, or roll of tape she feels she must search until it is found. Her life is disrupted and all is put on hold, she is compelled to find it. As an adult, she runs her own missing persons agency, knowing how those who lost loved ones feel.



As Sandy is working on one particular case, she finds herself jogging on a trail and right into a camp of people who she knows to have gone missing many years ago. Not sure how she got there, or how to get back to her car, she finds out she herself has become one of the missing. Helena, one of the group of people at the camp, befriends her and shows here around what they call "Here". It seems this is where all things and people that go missing go. Sandy meets several of the people she had been looking for and sees how they have coped in this new place.

This is a cute book I can best describe as chick-lit.
I give it a 3 out of 5.
