Couldn’t stop rolling my eyes at the lack of originality. Nothing new here to see folks. Nothing more than a barely ok read.

This one was so-so. I liked it, but I didn't like it. It was twisted, but I felt like the dialogue was stiff. It didn't flow.
Pretty meh, all the way around.

I really liked this book. I love the two main characters and how they try to deal with their health issues. It is really a mystery, but has themes of bullying, abuse, alcoholism, and high school drama. Give this book to readers who like realistic high school fiction and a good "who done it."

I felt like this book was written in an odd style. I found it to be very disjointed sometimes, where I had to re-read certain paragraphs to understand what was happening. I'm not sure if that was just me. Anyways...aside from that, I really enjoyed the plot. A super quick read with interesting twists and definitely intriguing.

I was surprised how much I liked this - it could have veered into the very strange, or the completely beyond belief, but stayed close enough to what I thought the reality of the situation was to be a good read. What I mean is, I could believe that Nicole was honestly a nice person, that she wasn't going to be completely ruined (psychologically) by having had acid thrown in her face. And that was the biggest hurdle of the book.
The hacking that Jay does to track the "squirter", the relationship he has with his father (clearly very, very troubled), his seeming expertise at wrestling and his fear of being in public thanks to his seizures were a little piled on; take out any one of those and he would have been a better character. The way girls seemed to want to be with him wasn't completely off-base, but that Nicole's mother becomes such a fan so quickly seems a little weird.
The excerpts from Nicole's diary and therapy sessions could have delved a little deeper into what she was going through, but at heart this is a cybermystery/romance that I think teens will enjoy more because of the lack of supernatural elements than anything else.

I really liked it. Besides the fact that they got off topic too quickly and too many times, it was a really awesome read. That's the only reason it was given four stars by me.
