Review
I think the story is slow in the begin, but it is getting on soundings as the story run. The end was very exciting, as Ingrid founded the murder and how she escaped from the dangerous situation. The clues of the truth were planted very well. It was built up slowly as the story run. The story reflected a lot of situations the teenagers have to face, such as puppy love and separating-parents. It is a good book for teenagers because most of them will feel related and the outcome is pretty positive. Outstanding Work.
