So this book was kind of slow at times, but not enough to deter me from reading it quickly. I guess the reason I liked this book so much was the ending, which I won't go into here because it is spoilery. The letters from Jem's best friend, Kai, set the pace, which is roughly a month per chapter. Jem is in love with Kai, but he is gay. Then, something happens and affects Kai so deeply that he kills himself. Jem is left to pick up the pieces, which is difficult for her to do. She wants revenge on the people she thinks pushed Kai to suicide. The rest of the story is all about her carrying out her revenge plans (which involves a lot of set-up), and the resulting aftermath of the plans coming to fruition. Unfortunately, in the end, she learns she was manipulated and is surprised to discover who is behind the manipulation. This teen read is not altogether unpredictable, but it is interesting enough to keep the reader engaged and going. This books deals with topics like bullying, homosexuality, rape, and suicide, so not necessarily a cheerful read.
