review 1: Splendor is a very sad but beautiful story about a girl name Scarlett. Scarlett's boyfriend Will is leaving for Yale and all she has is her best friend Lily and her father. After her brothers death a year before, Scarlett had come face to face with a boy named Will who revealed to her that he can sense when someone is is danger and he is compelled to help them, and if he doesn't he gets excruciating headaches. When Gunner Montgomery-Valentine, a foreign exchange student from England shows up, Scarlett is attracted to him even though Will is her boyfriend. Lily and Scarlett become more distant from each other and in the end of this story, Scarlett faces more death and loss then ever before.
review 2: This is an interesting realistic fiction story with a touch of... more mysticism included. While still rocked by the death of her brother, Scarlet is beginning to heal in both mind and spirit. Will has gone off to college in the east coast and a new foreign exchange student comes to the island. Scarlett starts to study a different aspect of Kabbalah. The ending isn't wrapped up in a neat and tidy bow and is definitely not happy ever after, but while shocking, it seems realistic. On the page sex keeps this novel squarely at the high school level. less
