I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This is also a first time read of this author as well. I am glad that I got to read this one, I found it to be a great psychological thriller.
In this book we have Laura who is new student at Englewood high. She came here it make her own fresh start, but soon Laura notice that everyone is staring at her, but these are not normal, new girl at school stares, these stares are more along the lines of 'she looks just like her...' Laura looks like a girl, Sarah Castro-Tanner, who committed suicide 2 years prior. Laura tries to go on and ignore the rumors that are fly around and then she meets the popular boy in school, Charlie. But Charlie and his friends are acting a little paranoid and soon Laura discovers that it has to do with Sarah.
I really enjoyed this story a lot. I found it so engaging and so easy to read. It is a great psychological thriller with a lot of great mystery. It had me guessing from the very first page all the way to last. It had some great plot twists too that I never expected. However, I hated the way the story ended, it is obvious that there will be a sequel, but it felt more unfinished rather than being a good cliffhanger and I did not like that, I was disappointed with that part of it.
The characters to me were evil, and I did not really like any of them. I found, in my opinion, that there were really no protagonists in this story. They all felt like antagonists to me. I find this both odd and unique at the same time because I have never really came across a book with characters like this. There were a lot of good - bad guys that you can really hate, and I am sure they will all carry over into a sequel. So be prepared to not like anyone.
I recommend this to anyone who likes a good mystery or a good psychological thriller. Because of the abrupt ending I could not rate this higher than 4, but it has great potential to be a great series.
