Charlie Healey thinks Harmony Falls is the beginning of a whole new life. Middle School was brutal. Mean girls were all around her. But High School’s going to be Charlie’s big chance to start over and stay out of drama, except that on her first day who does she run into? None other than Will, her ex-best friend, who had moved away. Now he’s back, looking a lot cuter and hanging out with a questionable crew. But Charlie doesn’t understand just how questionable until an innocent delivery guy falls victim to a near-deadly hazing prank.
All Charlie wanted to do was have a drama-free freshman year, but now she must decide whether to turn in her very best friend, who just told her he loves her, or live with the guilt of knowing what he did.
Was this book worth my time?
Yes
This book is so close to the real-life trials and all out fun that high school brings. I found myself remembering the drama, the gossip, the heartbreaks, and the oddities as I read the book.
Her characters are true to life, and I think you would be hard-pressed to walk into a school that didn't have the kids that were protrayed in the book.
My favorite part of the book is the fact that Charlie realizes that she can stand on her own. I was proud of her, and, honestly, a little jealous that she figured it out so quickly and it took me 4 years of high school to figure it out.
I'm not usually a fan of "girlie" book about crushes and gossip; however, this is a book that got me because of deeper issues addressed. I really am glad that I took the time to give this book a shot. You should too.
The conflicts are real; the drama is real.
What bothered me about this book?
Nothing
