Damage Done
by Amanda Panitch
Damage Done tells the story of high school student Julia Vann, who is the sister of a boy who killed 11 students in a band room and then killed himself. Her family moved to another town and made a new identity for her-- Lucy Black. Completely devastated about the death of her twin brother and the fall out from him choices, Lucy struggles to fit in at a new school. After one year, she finally starts to grow some roots-- a best friend, Alane, and a boyfriend, Michael. However, after she finally seems to be happy, she realizes she is being followed by her brother's old psychiatrist. But why? And what does he want?
This book has one of the most unexpected endings I've ever read. I really enjoyed the twists and turns all the way there.
That being said, I didn't enjoy a lot of the build up. I found it implausible for Michael to completely fall for Lucy so quickly. I also found Lucy's relationships with her parents unbelievable. Also, the writing was hard to follow sometimes, and I would have to read passages a couple times to figure out who was doing what actions, etc.
Overall, I enjoyed the storyline, but not the little pieces that led us to the end.
This book was given to me by the publishers at NetGalley in order for an honest review
