Followers

So, I need more followers. But I have no idea how to go about it. And I didn't get on much before but I'm planning on changing that as you can tell with the posts of the last couple days. Any ideas from the followers I do have?

My Review - The Girl In The Park


Summary:

When Wendy Geller's body is found in Central Park after the night of a rager, newspaper headlines scream,"Death in the Park: Party Girl Found Strangled." But shy Rain, once Wendy's best friend, knows there was more to Wendy than just "party girl." As she struggles to separate the friend she knew from the tangle of gossip and headlines, Rain becomes determined to discover the truth about the murder. Written in a voice at once immediate, riveting, and utterly convincing, Mariah Frederick's mystery brilliantly exposes the cracks in this exclusive New York City world and the teenagers that move within it.

My Review:

Before I started this book, I wasn’t sure what to expect. If it was just going to be another mystery book where you already know what’s going to happen a third of the way in, or if it was going to have surprises. It started off like-able but ended amazing. Rain was down to earth and very likeable. Throughout the book, you were rooting for her to find the truth and face her fears. You also got to learn more about Wendy Geller, what she was actually like and what kind of secrets she had after her and Rain stopped being friends. This book kept me guessing until the end because what I thought I knew was going to happen every time was blown away by some new secret Rain finds as she digs deeper for the truth. The end scene was very powerful and actually quite fitting. Overall, I highly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone.

Favorite Character: Rain
