White Pine

Just finished The Worst Thing She Ever Did. Wow! I have to admit at first I wasn't liking it. The voice just sounded so...flat or somethuing. But as I read on, and the story developed, it got better and better. Written in the first person, we see the characters and events through Sophie's eyes. Little by little, as she comes to terms with what happened, she reveals more about the incident. We also pick up a few things that Sophie, in her grief, can't see. I think this is a very realistic portrayal of a teenage girl's life in the face of loss. Gotta admit, I cried at the end.
