Find Me by Romily Bernard
4.0
Find Me is about a teenage girl, Wick, who has had a pretty crappy life. Her mother committed suicide, her father is an abusive felon, and Wick and her sister have been in and out of several foster homes. Wick is a bit of a negative-Nancy and doesn't believe she can be a better version of herself. She is her father's daughter. So, in her spare time, she hacks. She works by word-of-mouth and hacks into men's lives, as requested by their wives, to uncover the truth about them. But then one day, an unexpected job lands on her doorstep. A diary that belongs to a girl from school who just committed suicide is dropped at Wick's house with a post-it saying "Find Me." Turns out, someone wants Wick to use her hacking skills to investigate who it was that raped and abused Tessa.
Wick is an interesting character. I couldn't help but feel for her, even though she could be rather frustrating at times. She has very low self-esteem and thinks the same thing about herself that other people call her -- that she is "trash." She also has authority issues, which is understandable considering what she has been through, but she feels that adults are useless and she has to do everything on her own. So, that's why, when Tessa's diary lands on her doorstep and she learns that it's even more personal than she initially realized, she takes it into her own hands instead of asking for help from an adult.
The story definitely captured my interest and I wanted to keep reading to find out everything. However, I was able to pick out, pretty early on, who the mystery psychopath was. But, I was captivated by the story and the mystery (because, of course, I didn't know for sure who it was).
