Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Lila’s parents are divorced and her mom moved her to Shade, her mom’s hometown. Lila had gotten into some trouble at her old school with a few bullies and ended up getting expelled. Her mother, along with the divorce, can’t cope with everything so Lila finds herself out of the city away from her friend Bec.
When Lila enters her new school, everyone ignores her. She doesn’t understand as she has done nothing to warrant the indifferent welcome. However when the most popular girl, Samantha, and her clique start showing interest Lila is very suspicious. She questions their motives and sincerity. Then there is the strange girl from the library, Cresida, who warns her away from them. Lila knows something is going on and the story Cresida is alluding to is too crazy to believe.
She agrees to get closer to the clique in an attempt to learn more about Cresida. Lila learns more than she expected when everyone’s secrets are revealed in the most brutal way. Her life is threatened and she enters a world that she never knew existed.
It took me a while to get into this book. The beginning was fine in that Lila’s life was not a happy place and she was trying to move passed what happened in the city. I felt sorry for her when everyone ignored her at school. The author did a great job describing how difficult it was for her to be invisible. Then it got a bit confusing when Cresida became cryptic and the clique became interested. I didn’t like how Lila refused to listen to her gut and decided why not. It seemed to go against her character. It annoyed me that she didn’t fight anything. She would question things but not really do anything to stop what was happening. The suspicions for the clique grew and Lila seemed to get caught up in the sense of belonging and her crush for Sky. I knew it wouldn’t end well. In fact I made it through the whole book and was disappointed in how it ended. I was hoping I was wrong. I give it a 3 out of 5.
