Nobody Knows But You by Anica Mrose Rissi
4.0
“ But truth can be slippery, hard to look at straight on. It's too open to interpretations and view points. Lies are more solid, sometimes they feel more real.”
Is it predictable? Yes, probably. Is it original as a YA thriller book? Maybe not. And still, I screamed with that ending, I saw it coming but the way Kayla narrates what happened gave me chills. It’s one of the few books that I’ve read with unreliable narrators, when you know a fact through rumors and comments from people who are not objective, and the person in whom the story is centered has no participation because one is in jail and the other is dead.
In my country there is nothing like summer camps (I think), so I don't know much about the dynamics, activities and relationships that arise there... but go that far for a girl you recently met? PSYCHO! PSYCHO! PSYCHO! An innocent friendship ended in an obsession and a dead body, what was supposed to be an accident ended up on trial as murder. And here comes that famous line, "if I don't have you just for myself, no one else will have you."
Favorite character: Kayla
