Helpful Score: 2

This book was a hard read, it is supposed to be a psychological thriller but I didn't really find anything thrilling about it. I only finished it because I can't stand not knowing, and hoping the book would improve. The main character starts off as 16 year old girl, Carole, who makes a pact with her best friend Naomie to loose her virginity during a school break holiday. Little did she know that there would be a horrible accident that leaves one woman dead, and two girls trying to keep a secret. The book follows Carole and Naomi's lives from youth to adulthood, from New York to California and Vermont. The main antagonist in this book is greasy and cruel, not the best choice for their pact. He keeps popping up in Carole's life no matter where she runs or hides. The ending was anticlimactic. Though there was depth to the characters the plotline was slow and boring. The book does draw some interesting thoughts to the psychology of lies, and the path life can lead from one incident.
