Synopsis: Perfect Parker Fadley isn't so perfect anymore. She's quit the cheerleading squad, she's dumped her perfect boyfriend, and she's failing school. Her parents are on a constant suicide watch and her counselors think she's playing games'¦but what they don't know, the real reason for this whole mess, isn't something she can say out loud. It isn't even something she can say to herself. A horrible thing has happened and it just might be her fault. If she can just remove herself from everybody-be totally alone-then everything will be okay...The problem is, nobody will let her.
Okay first of all. A note to Lydia. Please stop just picking up books and going "someone dies," then flip to the back of the book to verify it. TOTALLY ruined this book for me, I sat there the whole time just WAITING for your prediction to come true. This is one of those books where flipping to the last page, is NOT a good idea. I know a lot of people do it but trust me you will just toss this book to the side and not even bother finishing it if you do that. I loved this book. I cried though. Which really should make me hate it, but it was just so well written and it broke through the barriers of a shell a girl had created to please teh world around her. It was just heartbreaking in that aspect. But I loved it. I heard about it from another blogger and I wanted to read it. It was a great recommendation and I hope some of you will go out and read it also :)

Aww making you cry should not mean it's bad, it means you felt something - I am sorry you found it sad, I REALLY want to read it, once I get a few minutes! It sounds amazing, wonderful review.
Oh and my daughter does that, flips to the last page and reads it, it drives me NUTS - though I am tempted sometimes, I just cant do it...
Lol Lydia does it all the time It drives me crazy. And I am like "It made me cry *sigh*" lol. Its really good I hope you get the chance to read it :)

This book has been on wishlist for at least a year now! I always tend to flip to the page to "get it over with already" or I'll "research" the book and come across a spoiler. It's so hard to resist doing both! So I ended up reading books right before going to bed so I'd be too lazy to look anything up and just READ haha. It's worked out great so far!
Thats a great idea :) I hope you finally read this book and enjoy it :)
