"I have been getting a lot of recommendations to read this book. Many of my best friends are in love with the show on ABC and told me that I have to watch it. I decided that since the show has been airing for about a year now that if I start watching it now I wouldn't understand what was happening so I decided to read the book. At first I thought this was one of those drama fill chick flick books about boys but as I started to read it I couldn't stop. Sara Shepard did an amazing job of not giving to much away so that the reader could have his or her own superstitions. I would recommend this book the young teens as it is in the perspective of someone relatable, a teen. I loved this book a lot and can't wait to keep reading the rest of the series."

— Publishers Weekly“Shepard writes a suspenseful page-turner that will have teens thirsting for more. The plot is quick-moving and encapsulates the feelings of many teens.”
— School Library Journal" The narrator is wonderful. Really appropriate for the story's setting. The story is different from the tv series but not less. "
