Thrilling, exciting, mortifying, are the three first words that come to my mind when I think about this book. This book has a very interesting and unusual concept. Come and find me narrates the story of girl name Diana. Diana was a computer expert she knew everything related to computer science from security code to how to hack into computer systems; however, she had a slightly phobia that prevented her with interacting with the world outside the virtual world. After her boyfriend ''supposedly'' die climbing a mountain. After this episode her life turn gray she was terrifying of everything even going outside her house was a scary for her.Diana started to get panic attacks and everything made her anxious even the simple act of going to her front door to receive a package.Her friend Jake and her sister Ashley tried to help her overcome her fear and her grief for her lost boyfriend. Diana buried herself in the virtual world avoiding any contact with people. She created and avatar in a computer program called OtherWorld her avatar name's was '' Nadia Varata.''After her sister Ashley suddenly disappeared for a whole weekend he started to get worried and asked one of her online friends name ''GROB'' to help her find her sister. she realized that her home security has been hacked so she decide to find the courage to finally get out her house and find refuge at her other online friend name ''PWNED.'' She and PWNED find clues that led then to know were Ashley might possibly be, after watching the video footage of an event that Ashley was seen the last time.After going to a secret meeting with GROB she realized that GROB was actually her friend and business partner Jake. Jake convince her to follow him and to an old building away from the city to show her what he was being working on. When they were there Jake confessed that he was the one that kidnapped Ashley thinking that it was her. At the end she realized that her lover did not die he planned everything to make it look like he did in order to keep working in the computer hacking business behind her back.The themes of this story are lost, anxiety, and suspense with a hint of technology. This story give you and insight of the computer hacker world.This book had me in a loop page after page because the characters were very changeable,for example, there was a big twisted in the character ''Jake'' he first started a friend and the turned out to be a bad guy. The same thing happened with Daniel ( Diana's dead boyfriend) he betrayed and lied to Diana.I love the fact that the chapters were really short only six pages for chapter. also the idea that some body could shuttered the world for fear that someone body could hurt them was a very interesting topic. The only reason why a a gave a four stars is because I found some punctuation errors in the sentences structure. I look forward to read more of Hallie Hephron's book in the future. Computer hackers turning legit. Diana, the main character, has acute panic attacks and won't leave her house 18 months after her boyfriend's death from a climbing accident until her sister goes missing for four days. Her sister was dressed as Diana's avatar and took part in a flash mob when she disappeared. Diana overcomes her fears of leaving her house and sets out to find what happened to her sister. This was fun to read. I've never used virtual worlds or avatars, and reading how the author uses them to help solve the mystery was fascinating.
