Wow....an extremely good and very short read. If you have a teen that does NOT like to read...get this book. If they have a book report or something where they have to read something...this book may actually turn them on to reading. I read it in one weekend and probably could have read it in about four hours had I been uninterrupted.
Because it's so short, the fact that it was so surprising...had such good twists and turns and also quite a bit of suspense was actually surprising. I won't do any spoiler alerts so I cannot tell you much but a girl and her single mom move to a new place due to the main character not focusing on school as much as a guy and some illegal substances at their previous residence. So of course, she immediately gets involved with the town freak the second she moves to this new location. Bad stuff happened at the house he lives in and she thinks he just needs a break...some friends, AND she thinks he is cute.
Well there really isn't much left to say without giving things away so I'll go on to my rating. I think Teens who enjoy that kind of fiction will LOVE this book. Those who don't like to read that much will enjoy it too. Even adults! Just don't see the movie first. It would so ruin it.
Short and sweet, this book gets an overall 4 on my behalf. The writing wasn't top of the line but with some suspsense it doesn't need to be. This carried itself without too much character development. Most of the focus is on our heroin and that s enough.
Read whenever you can and know that this one is a four!!!
Ciao for now!!!
