review 1: Katie’s new boyfriend, Mark, is a dream-come-true; popular, handsome, and he seems to really “get” her. Too bad her best friend and roommate, Tessa, can’t stand him; his ex-girlfriend wants him back; and his hockey teammate is doing his best to cause trouble between them. Things get worse when a photo goes viral of Mark in a compromising position with another girl. Mark claims to be innocent, and ends up as the prime suspect when the girl’s dead body is found. This book is told in multiple perspectives from Katie, Mark, and Tessa’s points of view. McBride keeps the story moving along rapidly, and packs as much as she can in a very short book (225 pages). There is underage drinking, swearing, and references to sex, but are crucial to the story... moreline.
review 2: I received the ARC of this book at the TLA conference this year. I had it sitting on a counter when my students came in the following Monday. They were so excited about my new books, and this one was so intriguing that my most avid volunteer/reader/student begged me to borrow it before it got processed for the shelves. The next day she brought it back with a friend who also wanted to borrow it. It went on like this for about two weeks! Each friend had a friend who had a friend and so on. Finally, I got it back in my hands to read, and I really liked it! It's definitely an upper middle school to high school book because of the content. I could tell why my students liked it so much! less
