![]() ![]() it's hard to root for anyone in this book. ![]() Overall, it is an incredibly rich book about guilt and betrayal, with complicated and generally unlikable characters. she's filled with secrets, like poor laura. ![]() looking into her past, questioning people close to her at the end of her life, and reading her journal, they find out all kinds of sordid information about her that she kept very well-hidden. carly was murdered a year ago, her uncle has been jailed for the crime, but her cousin audrey (daughter of convicted murderer) and her ex-boyfriend neily are unconvinced that he is actually guilty. This book also has a great twin peaks-y vibe. hallelujah! an author that can handle the challenge of creating distinct characters! you would think this would be child's play for an author, but i am finding more and more that many are just not up to the task. he leadeth me beside the still waters and all of that.Īlso, this is a YA split narrative where both characters sound like different people. ![]() It takes its title from childe harold, so already it's got me interested. but this is a mystery, and i am not the sort of person who has any interest in rereading a mystery once i know whodunit. five stars means i neeeed to reread it, and four stars - its chances are good that it will be revisited. my only reservations about going the whole four are that i know i will never read it again. This is a really high three stars, because i really did like it a whole lot. ![]()
