I would like to say that I have mixed feelings about thus book. Not that it's bad (it's not), but about how it leaves you feeling. It's certainly a well thought out book about women and their value to society, and how society commodifies true crime. That said, we mainly focus on Lou's journey, but the journey of the other women are just as notable, even if they aren't as prominent.

This is a book that deals with bullying and the need to fit in, and what that does to someone. It could be considered dark, but I think it would be alright for kids to read.

3.5

This book really pulled at my heart. The only reason I rated it a bit lower was because it felt like parts of the story were missing, mainly the parts about her friends. I wish the story had given us more information about her relationship with them. It just felt like something was missing.
