Such a wonderful read, I was so hooked I finished it in one night. I really liked the way the author structures the chapters and gives them all titles of their own. Melinda was a very relatable character, she's human, her actions are frustrating and she's tragic. The reader can't help but want to support her and relate our lives to hers. Somehow the author managed to encompass the high school experience accurately. Teens are caustic and biting but we're all selfish humans. The only reason this isn't a 5/5 is because it was wayyyy too short. I really wanted to see her take her much needed revenge.

Songs: 
  • High - Slow Pulp
  • Afraid - The Neighborhood
