book 18

speak softly, she can hear, pam lewis
rating:


my sister recommended this one, remembering that it had a secret history-esque feel to it. this book has the same take home (take-home?) message as scott smith's simple plan: don't ever keep a big secret. ever. okay: carole, the protagonist, makes a pact with her best friend naomi to each lose her respective virginity before graduating from spence, an elite all-girls school in manhattan. enter eddie, who's such a stand up twenty-six year old that he doesn't mind helping the young ladies out. they all go up to vermont for a weekend and things happen in a way that's more than a little unexpected. the three of them end up sharing a pretty serious secret that haunts carole through the book. very creepy. i was hyper-aware of my surroundings all day. watch your backs, people. TRUST NO ONE.
