A review by amelia_herring
The Edge of Nowhere by Elizabeth George

2.0

Clearly written by someone who doesn't know how to write teens. The language and style felt very outdated (I kept thinking I was reading a book from the early '90s). The plot was one giant hole-- the main problem from the very beginning was one that could have easily have been solved by going to the police rather than going on the run. Characters felt incredibly shallow, especially the girl who didn't understand why her boyfriend would break up with her after seeing her kiss another boy. Becca's ability to hear people's thoughts felt like a device thrown in last minute, and contributed very little to the advancement of the plot. Just a laundry list of complaints; I wouldn't have even bothered to slog through to the (underwhelming) end if this weren't a book selected for our book club. Blech.
