Summary: Unforgettable
Comment: Though I read this book more than four months ago now, clips of the author's gentle yet unyeildingly powerful words still flash before my mind.
The book is about a group of friends torn apart by a sequence of terrible events. Aimee, the best friend of lead character Zoe, commit suicide about a year ago when the book takes place. Zoe was charged with murder because she was sleeping over at Aimee's house that night. We get conflicts of viewpoint throughout, which makes for an incredibly moving storyline, but we also feel Zoe's shame and inability to forgive herself. Though she was proven not guilty at trial, she still feels responsible.
You also get a wonderfully emotional look at Zoe's life. The author speaks so genuinely, it's impossible to believe that she hasn't lived Zoe's life. The words flow easily and make the story both darkly wonderful and easier to relate to. Zoe feel entirely unloved by her parents, and feels that her group of friends from "there" were the only people who ever understood her. All the bad memories are covered by the wonderful memories.
It's a book that keeps you guessing. Will Zoe and Chard be able to make it as more than friends? Can her parents, in spite of their possible divorce/separation, become closer to her and show her she's cared for? And, most importantly, can Zoe ever overcome her traumatized adolescence?
Buy the book and find out!

Summary: It Should be a Movie
Comment: A Review by Tiffany
Best Friends with Aimee, Zoë did everything that they every wanted to do. They had the cutest boys in the world. The ones that are caring and won't go tell his best friend everything that they did the night before. But one night everyone's life comes to complete stop. Zoë ends up with charges against her and Aimee is dead by her own hand. After everything went wrong Zoë has been herself since. Her family life is torn apart and the one person she ever loved she can't even see him.
I like how this book keeps going back and forth to the past and present. It keeps me reading. It leads up to what she really has now. Her life is a mess. At least her love Chard is still by her side. And that nothing can put them in the way of seeing each other. I learned that every life is precious. That one fatal move can hurt some ones life forever. Mary Beth Miller is one of the best authors. Every page leaves you in a wondering mind. Like what is going to happen on the next page. For a while there I thought it was based on a true story. I think that it should be a movie.
I would recommend this to anyone. All ages should read this book in there life. It might make a big difference.

Summary: Finally, A Novel That Seems Non- fiction
Comment: This engrossing novel accurately portrays the dynamics of teenage life. The plot is horrific yet spellbinding; it delves into the true feelings of Zoe. Ms. Miller gives the characters depth and meaning; she does not take the traditionally shallow rode in describing adolescents. Zoe has feelings some through the story with electrifying clarity; you feel as if you know her personally. So involved into the story you will no doubt become, that you will be mourning for Zoe in this stories climatic end.
