I read this in one evening....could NOT put it down! This is Leah Stewart's first novel and it is awesome. I will definitely be looking for more of her novels.

This was a very interesting book - quite different from _The Myth of You & Me_. It reminded me a lot of _Sharp Objects_, actually. I was a little disappointed in the ending, but, really, it was the only thing that made sense. I enjoyed the book, but just didn't love it.

A newspaper reporter gets a little too involved with the murder story that she is covering.

I liked this book. It was interesting to follow the character into her obsession with a dead girl she's never met, including a questionable relationship with the dead girl's teenage brother. Good psychological read.
