Review by Angela
Who would like this book? Females & Males over the age of 14.
The goods on the book: A fiction story about a girl having a tragic event at the end of summer which had a big impact for her at the beginning of high school. Melinda Sordino started high school with a secret. A secret that was rumored terribly. No one knew the truth. She only had one friend, but separated from Melinda due to her awkwardness and anti-social behavior. Her friends back in middle school had ditched her for the other ‘groups’ and because of the summer secret. Eventually Melinda would have to speak the truth. I really enjoyed this book. It was my second time reading it and it’s an interesting fiction.
