I'm not sure how I felt about this one. Mostly because I really hated the main character. Because she was a bully and didn't see it in herself. Because she made excuses for her behavior. Because I don't know that she ever really understands what it is that she did, even at the end. But that's the point. So maybe I liked it. It was such a different take: the bully's perspective. And I think I expected the author to make me sympathize or empathize with her, but...that's not what happened. Even when she was doing something somewhat redeeming, she never really did it for the right reasons. She still, ultimately I think, believed that she was innocent. So anyway, this was an interesting read for me, because I just really hated the main character and wanted to shake her.
