Not your everyday coming-of-age novel
This story was supposed to be about Evie how she hasn't made a friend in years, how she tends to stretch the truth (especially about her so-called relationship with college drop-out Jonah Luks), and how she finally comes into her own once she learns to just be herself but it isn't. Because when her classmate Elizabeth "Zabet" McCabe's murdered body is found in the woods, everything changes and Evie's life is never the same again.
My thoughts
Evie is a loner. The only friend she has is high-school dropout Jonah who she sees when she makes her newspaper deliveries. Then Jonah finds a dead body. Zabet was once a friend of Evie’s and when she is found murdered, Evie life changes forever. This coming of age story is a murder mystery but also a story of teenage angst, grief and becoming an adult through crisis. But I didn’t connect with Evie as I felt she learned little if anything from the ordeal.
Disclosure: I borrowed this book from my local library.

I didn't really love this book either. I thought both girls' actions were kind of ridiculous.
