Something for Bebe

Maddy's mentor has left her a cryptic file of documents with what is essentially a goodbye note and a plea to dig deep and figure out the mystery he's left behind. As Maddy begins researching the paperwork Elliot left behind...she begins to see a connection with what she is reading and with recent deaths in the news. What is Elliot doing? Can she piece together the puzzle in time and find him before something terrible happens? Or is it already too late?

The Bosnian War is the setting behind the scenes in Something for BeBe. Events that occurred during that time is what fuels Elliot's cryptic message to Maddy. There are some heavy hitting parts to this story and many times my heart broke. This accurately reflects my feelings: “There's no end to humanity's depravity when given half a chance to justify their actions.”

I really enjoyed Maddy's character and loved her tenacious attitude. Despite what she endures as a young woman journalist, she stays strong and true to herself.

The only issue I had with this one were the chapters. I don't feel they were broken out very well. One minute you are reading about Maddy and her guide while she is searching for Elliot and the next sentence it's completely switched to another character. Sometimes that character hasn't been properly introduced first so there were a few times I had to go back and reread to understand what happened. It threw off the flow quite a bit.

Other than that, this is a very well thought out and written YA thriller. I don't believe this is a time period often touched upon in fiction and recommend this one.
