review 1: 3.5 StarsI grabbed this book originally because I thought this cover was amazing. The book synopsis is also very intriguing and made me want to read this book even more. Torn to Pieces was a mystery in a mystery mixed in with a bit of thriller. I did like the idea of this novel but it just felt like it was a bit slow throughout. Also I wasn't sure how "realistic" these events would be, saying that I know that this is a fictional novel lol.The characters in this book were okay. I think Anne's mom was the biggest and best character even though she was there in presence only. I feel like Anne did somethings that were unrealistic. How would she know to do some of the things she did? I did admire her for how she handled things at the end of the book. Overall, this novel was pre... moretty good. It kept me interested but it was a bit slow for a mystery thriller. Despite my feelings, I would still recommend this to readers looking for a YA contemporary mystery.
review 2: This book was a puzzling book because of the life the character lived and her confusing family. Anne's mother is not a stay at home mom, she is rather the opposite. Her mom is never at home and always away on business. Anne starts to worry when she her mother doesn't arrive home on time and she is not picking up her phone. A threatening man leaves voice mails on the phone for a mysterious woman. After explaining the disaster to her grandparents, they give her an envelope with the details she needs to know from her mom. Anne reads the letter and is shocked to see the things that is going on, her mom has deep dark secrets that no one has ever known. People close to Anne are not who they are known as and Anne needs help. I recommend this book to 8th graders and up because it was a book that really makes your mind tick to know what happens next. less
