The List, by Siobhan Vivian

4.0

The descriptions in this book were absolutely fantastic. That was the first thing I noticed, the author's way of so vividly describing sights, smells, sounds. I was fascinated with the 8 main characters and their way of individually dealing with their names being on the list - from one girl deciding to prove she can be as ugly as the list said to another taking the list as proof that she made a good decision in becoming anorexic. It All seemed very real and showed that it isn't only hurtful names that can shape your life, but also ones meant to be compliments. My only complaint is that it seemed unfinished and unresolved. There was no clear cut conclusion and that left a lot to be desired. It had the feel of there being a chapter or two missing.
