I bought this book when it first was released. I just finished it this week. I bought enough copies to have a lit circle group for it, and I am really glad that I did. This was a well-written text. Set in the same high school that Speak took place. Melinda even makes an appearance.
Kate is an interesting character, but she does confound me. I don't understand why she has to be so stubborn and live in such denial of the truth.
Her father is annoying and static, but I know why he has to be that way.
But the ending is VERY disappointing. There are enough twists and a couple of shockers, but the end of the book really left me bummed out.
I felt more closure and relief and belief in the ending of Speak. BUT, if it weren't for the ending, this would be one of my top YA books. But it's not.
