I thought this book was extremely boring. I don't know why, but I did. The story was about a girl who got herself mixed up with a bunch of kids who were catty and jealous and weird. This poor girl was tortured and murdered in a despicable way. I cannot imagine what she went though. I read this book some time ago, but I just watched an episode on tv about this case. It was easier to watch than to read this book, but the fact is- it was horrific. You never know what teenagers are capable of, and that is very scary as a parent.
