15 year old Amelia kills herself by leaping off the roof of her school, shortly after her mother is called to pick her up because she has been suspended for plagiarism. Her mother, an attorney, knows both of these acts are not like Amelia, and sets out to find the real reason that Amelia jumped...or was she really pushed? I liked this book and found it unpredictable. The one nuisance that I noticed was the large amount of misspelled words in the book that distracted me from the story...at first I just let it go, but after the 20th or 30th misspelled word I was really questioning the talent of the proofreader. Aside from that, it's a great read.
I enjoyed this book far more than I thought I would. I am usually not into the suspense/mystery stuff, but this was good.
There is many good reasons why this book is so highly wishlisted here on PBS. I am so glad I put this book on the top of my TBR list. This was a great book. It kept me guessing about who BEN was, and who might have been involved in Amelia's death. I found the book to be unique, in its story line about a 15 year old girl and all her secrets, and life at high school. I found the drama to be realistic and plausible. This really could happen to a school and a group of kids.
This is the first book I have read by this author, but it won't be the last. The book started out slow and it took me a little bit to get in the flow of the book. A lot of it is Facebook and text messages between the main character and her other contacts. Then it takes off. Lots of twists, turns, and surprises. Just when you think you have it figured out, it changes. Great first book. I am ready to read the next one!
