Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Eve

This book manages to deal with a touchy subject and it does so beautifully. We see the change between Melinda in the beginning to the Melinda in the end.

So Melinda before starting high school went with her friend to a party. There she was raped by a high school boy. Confused and unsure what to do she decided to call the police. The other students find out although they never find out why she called them and what had happened to her. So Melinda begins school in social exile. Her old friends do not speak to her and she is basically a loner who still doesn't speak very much.

This is a beautiful book on the faults that we may have and how sometimes things aren't always as they appear.
