this book hit the right target audience because the main character is going through the same stage of life as me . she is a senior in high school just like me . this makes it the right target audience because i will be going through some of the same thing as her . pg.7

this book is easy to follow because it thoroughly describes new characters in the book for example on pg. 21 it describes lauren as " only sign of her existence was a splay of orange hair poking up from the top of the covers.......tearfully , her pale eyes swollen and puffy. " this makes the book easier to follow because we can picture the character better and separate them from her other friends .

this character is relatable because he looks up to his brother and misses him now that hes gone . I can relate to this because I have a brother and I think we all look up to our siblings at some point in our lives and i know i miss my brother when I don't see him for a while . so this is just something I relate to regularly . Pg. 42

the powerful message that I found was that no matter how kind you are to people you can always be painted and twisted into a monster . I found this message in the text because the person accused of murdering andie bell was always said to be nice to everyone and never get mad or make you feel small. But somehow he still got painted out to be the killer no questions asked no further investigation. pg.43

a plot twist that I read in my book is that andi's dad is really hostile and looks like he planned out everything he said the press. and used past tense about her making him seem guilty . but this was a surprise because originally they thought sal was the only suspect but now I think the dad should be now. pg.44

This book is easy to follow because it describes new settings very well. For example on page 45 it describes mrd wards study by saying " Pip on the swivel desk chair and Naomi across from her on the red leather recliner .naomi wasn't looking at pip instead she was staring at the 3 paintings on the far wall .Three rainbow colored canvases of the family . " It goes on with even more but this very accurately helps me imagine where they are and how the study they're in looks . This can help the reader better understand the situations and where they are .

This character is relatable because they are having a very hard time after the death of a loved one.Naomi is having lots of anxiety and had to go through a lot of counseling and i just feel like that is very norma in that case. So i think this character is realtbao because I feel like this is very normal for people who have experienced traumatic things . pg. 46

andersojo24 — 2024-02-24 19:55:18 UTC

I think this is the right target audience because the kids in the story are doing things similar to what kids my age do . for example Pip asked what the friends were doing the night of the murder and they told her that they were just parting taking selfies and eating pizza . I feel like this is a very accurate thing for a kid their age to say . So I felt it hit the audience that I would be in. pg.47

A plot twist that I found in my book was when the friends of Sal decoded to change their minds and tell the cops he told them to lie . this surprised me because I thought as his friends they wouldn't have said a thing and just made sure he was in the clear . But instead they didn't tell him and just went to the cops because they thought he would be mad. I just didn't see this coming pg. 49

Something that surprised me was when Pip said the three people that were there that night said different things about Sal . Their stories didn't really add up and that was suspicious. Basically on pg. 51 Naomi said that sal talked about leaving early and how him and andi were fighting . But Max said he said nothing about andi and slipped out the door without telling anyone . So this makes someone more suspicious .

this hit the right target audience because they were talking about Class traditions being passed down to the lower classes . I thought this because that happened in my school like the things we do in assemblies or at the football games . So this really just resembled things we do at our high school . so this just hit the kind of audience i'm in. pg. 53

andersojo24 — 2024-02-24 20:33:32 UTC

The powerful message that I found was that sometimes friends ask a little more than you should give . For example on pg. 55 they are talking about how Sal asked his friends to lie to the cops about when he left the house so he didn;t look guilty . And they did it but they definitely should not have lied to the cops for lots of reasons . So i feel like this message really proved how you shouldn't do everything your friends ask of you .

andersojo24 — 2024-02-24 20:53:23 UTC

the powerful message is even people you thought you knew could be guilty of something you never thought they would do. I got this message because when Pip interviewed a few people she started to suspect Naomi someone shes known her whole life could be guilty . This makes me come to this conclusion because she says several times she knows naomi and she wouldn't do that but i think she's starting to second guess herself . pg. 61

andersojo24 — 2024-02-24 20:57:12 UTC

This character was realtble because they think Sal murdered andi because if all the facts that the police found. I think this is relatable because it makes sense to believe the police since they do the investigation .The evidence does seem pretty incriminating too so i totally understand why most people would think he killed her . For example her blood was under his fingernails and her phone was on him. pg.61

andersojo24 — 2024-03-04 14:37:11 UTC

This character is relatable because she feels really bad about keeping a secret from her friend. For example on page 103 she says " my stomach turns into a tight knot the more I lie to Cara . " This is relatable because I would feel bad too. your friend is the one you are supposed to tell everything to not keep things from so I understand why that's hard.

This book hits the right target audience because college is in the near future for the main characters . for me college is also in the near future so it's easier for me to feel for the characters and get in with the story . Like for example on page 115 the characters were talking about how stressed out they were that they haven't applied for a college yet and don't know where they want to go yet . and this is easy for me to understand because i know that feeling.

andersojo24 — 2024-03-04 14:50:33 UTC

This book is easy to follow because of how they set the scene. On page 121 the book says "pip heard naomi in the other room . the TV was blasting with static and a pew pew sound . " This helps me play out in my head what is going on at the time . It also helps me kind of see what the main character sees .

andersojo24 — 2024-03-04 14:53:33 UTC

A plot twist that I read in my book is that Pip thinks that Naomi sent that threatening message . This is a surprise because Pip still thinks of hr as a sweet older sister of her best friend and she keeps trying to convince herself that she wouldn't do something like that . But the evidence keeps pointing to her so she might have no choice but to look into her . Pg. 115

andersojo24 — 2024-03-04 14:57:32 UTC

A powerful message that I found in the book was that good enough friends will keep secrets even after you're gone . This is powerful because a lot of times people won't do that and when you are one some friends will blab to whoever they want to and your secrets are out . But some really close friends will take you secret to your grave and theirs . You don't see that often . pg. 130

A plot twist I found in the book is that Mr. Ward is starting to look guilty . We know that Andi was seeing an older guy that she could ruin if it got out but we don't know who. But on pg. 140 we see one of her friends tell Pip that she was hardcore bashing mr. ward about something and we don't know if it's because he's the older man or not . pretty crazy .

andersojo24 — 2024-03-04 15:03:23 UTC

The powerful message I found in my book is that you never know how things are dealt with at someone else's home. This message is powerful because we know mr. ward told Andi's dad that she was bullying and that he was maybe a little rough on her . So when this got told we know she went missing later that week . So it could have easily been an abusive situation. This is why you need to be careful when dealing with family matters. pg.150

andersojo24 — 2024-03-04 15:05:44 UTC

This character is relatable because she is having a hard time confronting a peer. this is relatable because that is a difficult thing to do . It's hard to ask if a peer is lying or in the wrong especially because we look up to them . So it can sometimes be scary to talk about something like that pg . 155

evidence 5

andersojo24 — 2024-03-04 15:11:00 UTC

This book is easy to follow because it explains a situation from a long time ago in good detail . This makes it easy to follow because it helps us understand the situation better. For example on page 160 it tells us exactly what Andi posted that was bullying and lots of things she said to the girl . it also tells us why she wasn't in trouble from the school and what mr. Ward did when he found out . so this was all very helpful information when listening to the story .

andersojo24 — 2024-03-04 15:13:41 UTC

This book hits the right target audience because this book is told through a first person point of view from our main character. this makes it the right target audience because in Young adult literature that is one of the rules . by telling the story through the first person the story is easier for you to get readers to connect to . pg. 161

andersojo24 — 2024-03-13 15:17:27 UTC

This book was easy to follow because It described Andi sister Becca very descriptively . This makes it easier to follow because she was a new character and I didn't know her . So since she described her as almost a spitting image of Andi bt with shorter hair and a looks like painting I can paint a better image in my head . pg. 210

andersojo24 — 2024-03-13 15:22:08 UTC

a powerful message I found in my book is that some people need more time than others to accept reality . I found this because on page 215 it talks about how andis mom left her room the exact same even after he was presumed dead . she said this because she was still hopeful And I would come back and want to be in her room with everything the same . This really hit me because that would be super difficult for amotherto cope with and she just need more time than the rest of her family

andersojo24 — 2024-03-13 15:25:34 UTC

The plot twist that I found in this book is that Jason Bell had a really toxic family dynamic and brought his daughters down all the time . This makes him look even more guilty because they portrayed a very perfect family dynamic but turns out it was pretty evil . pg . 217

evidence 6

andersojo24 — 2024-03-13 15:28:23 UTC

this character was relatable Becca . she was relatable because she started to get really down on herself and develop a eating disorder and self harm because her dad made her feel so awful about herself and take down her self esteem. And I relate to this because I can see how that happens because parents are very important inputs in teenage lives and to have the feedback is really hard and would take you down hard. pg. 221

evidence 7

andersojo24 — 2024-03-13 15:33:39 UTC

A plot twist that I found in the plot is when the friend told pip that andi and max were like boyfriend and girlfriend at a party . this was a plot twist because sam and Andi were dating and max and Sam were besties . so this would have been a big betrayal to Sam . and I was not expecting this because Sam said they were just acquaintances. This was obviously a lie .pg.223

evidence 7

andersojo24 — 2024-03-13 16:01:43 UTC

a powerful message that I found was sometimes you need to do what's best for you are your health. this was a powerful message because Becca wasn't able to talk about her sister when pip asked and that okay . I feel like that should be allowed all the time with mental trama. pg. 225

evidence 6

andersojo24 — 2024-03-13 16:04:35 UTC

This hit the right target audience because one of the characters had made a private account so that colleges and important people don't see your silly side . And this is very common with my age group because they don't want it to affect their job or college life so they make one not attached to their name . so I could relate to this some. pg 231.

evidence 7

andersojo24 — 2024-03-13 16:09:36 UTC

this book is easy to follow because on page 247 they described max's house very well. They talked about everything from what max was wearing the sound of the vacuum even the lipstick smudge on his mom's teeth. so this definitely helped me set the scene in my mind and make a layout in my imagination. pg. 248

evidence 7

andersojo24 — 2024-03-13 16:11:52 UTC

This character was relatable because she was surprised that Andi was telling because she didn't seem like that kind of girl . I related because I was surprised too I know she had a bunch of extra cash but I thought her parent had given it to her . I definitely did not expect that outcome or for max to say anything about it . pg. 260

andersojo24 — 2024-03-13 16:16:08 UTC

This hit book hit the right target audience because in the plot the parents were asking them about sports practice after school and how things were going . This is the right target audience because lots of kids in my grade and high school do sports and have practice after school so this is something I would be relating to and can have that similar . page 250
