review 1: This is a great book with an amazing social awareness message. This book isn't just another YA book, it actually tackles the important issues many teenagers face such as suicide, rape and sexual assault. If you want to get a fictional insight into what the struggles of someone who has gone through more than anyone should in a lifetime at an age that is supposed to be full of fun, then this book will really give you a new perspective on how lucky we can be and how brave those around us are. I 100% recommend this book.
review 2: Brooke Wright has only two goals her senior year at Charity Run High School: stay out of trouble and learn to forgive herself for the past. Forgiveness proves elusive, and trouble finds her anyway when she discovers a secret club at schoo... morel connected to the death of her best friend. She learns that swim team members participate in a “Fantasy Slut League,” scoring points for their sexual acts with unsuspecting girls.Brooke, wracked with guilt over her friend’s death, decides to infiltrate the league by becoming one of the “unsuspecting girls,” and exact revenge on the boys who stole away her best friend. An unexpected romance complicates her plans, and her dogged pursuit of justice turns her reckless as she underestimates just how far the boys will go to keep their sex club a secret.The book starts of with Brooke getting ready for her best friend's funeral; she is trying to find the most invisible black dress with black shoes.. fast forward to the actual funeral and she making goo-goo eyes at one of the guys, and then the guilt comes. Brooke believes her best friend killed herself because of the rape on top of being betrayed by her best friend and boy friend. Brooke's Bff Beth was raped, she confides in Brooke but swears her to secrecy, she also falls into depression and is Brooke there for her? NO - she is busy "effing" her best friends BOY-FRIEND!Brooke is definitely not someone I would want to be friends with. Yes we all make mistakes, however sleeping all this time with your best friends boyfriend? And then being so disrespectful that they fool around in her best friend's house?She is a hoe bag, and even though she is sad and trying to stay under the radar, to me personally she is still that hoe!So now Brook wants to find the rapist of her best friend and she comes up with a plan. She is going to destroy the boy who raped her best friend Beth. This will supposedly make her feel better about her part. However it's not just one boy it's a whole club of them!?And then the book turned Veronica Mars on me, so I finished but wasn't too happy about it at all! less
