I had a hard time getting through this book. I was waiting for something to happen and it never did. It was suppose to be written from the view of an 8 year old girl but she spoke like someone much older. I think the author didn't have a clue as to how to think like a young child. I never did get the point of the book. Perhaps if you have read every other book there is to read you might want to try this one.

Hard to give a fair explanation of this book, though I will say that I couldn't put it down. Now onto it's sequel - "Gorgeous Lies."
