I had mixed feelings about Milk by MJ Meads. The story is about a young teenage girl named Becky. Becky’s mom passes away and she feels ignored by her father. She turns to her mother’s best friend, Mike, for comfort. Mike also happens to be Becky’s crush. Somehow Mike decides to take Becky away for a few days. This is just the start of Becky’s fantasy come true.
There were things I liked about Milk and then there were a couple things that left me pondering as to what was going on in the characters' heads. Having been a young teenage girl once, I did understand Becky’s fascination with Mike. At times I was rooting for her. I did think that she came across as a little immature, which is what I think MJ Meads intended, just to remind the reader that she is, in fact, a young girl. At first I liked Mike. I thought he was a good guy. Reading on, I started thinking he was a little creepy. By the end of the book, I was trying to see things through his eyes. I still have not decided if he is a good guy or a creep. The ending of the story happened rather quickly. I had to reread it just to make sure I did not miss any details as to what actually happened.
Overall, Milk was a good story. It did leave an impression on me and kept me trying to figure out if I liked Mike or not. I think this book should only be read by ages 16 and up.
