"You Must Not Miss" is the book that would be made if you put Neil Gaiman's "Coraline" and Laurie Halse Anderson's "Speak" into a blender. It's about a young girl, Magpie, who has very much been abandoned by the people closest to her, so she is left with imagining up a perfect place of her own in a tattered yellow notebook. But this place begins to warp, and the shadowy things Magpie doesn't really want to acknowledge begin to creep out and send her down a very dark path.
Leno has a talent for just wrapping the reader up in false sense of security with her writing, just before dumping them off the deep end with Mags. There wasn't a single moment I wasn't interested in what was happening. Also, the characters feel very thought-out and real; even the supporting characters add a lot of substance to the book.
The only thing that I wish had been a little different was the plot pacing: the ending happened so quickly, and I think it could have benefited from a bit more build up. It hit a certain point where the reader knew what was going to happen and I think that took away too much of the suspense that had been so good until that point.
If you want a freshly creepy YA story with a dose of magic realism, or just want to read a book that's going to leave you feeling vaguely unsettled like someone is watching you from the shadows, then "You Must Not Miss" is the book for you. ( )
