Book Reviews
To begin with this appears just like any US college book about a bunch of students, warts and all. The author is subtle introducing the reader to the character. Brooke the star pupil appears perfect- wants to become a surgeon, has the best body as she is ultra fit teaches exercise classes and is so focused. Can anyone be more perfect?
Then there is Jessica living the charmed life, rich but hating the world and surviving on pills and energy drinks. Ethan is starry eyed with Brooke and only sees this “perfect person.” This is a really good psychological thriller, hints are there that Brooke is not as everyone thinks—Jessica is the only person to realize this, but in hating the world and having her own problems the rest just goes past her. The author has created a dark strange character in Brooke and it is only as you get further into the story that you realize just what she is capable of. A sequel is planned and I will be keen to see how things move forward and will Brooke become the surgeon she so longs to become?
A great psychological thriller and an author to look out for.
