Their combined excesses led to a horrific crime of which Lisa was found guilty, and which brought her first to juvenile de­tention and then, once she was out, to an entirely new identity, provided for her by a government cautiously willing to offer her a fresh start at life. However, both are hiding secrets that can threaten to tear their lives apart, and neither realize that the other not knowing would ultimately lead them into great danger. It’s something that is entirely mine and it’s making Courtney and all his cool seem like teenage-boy bullshit.

One moment, top of the heap, thinking I’m a big smarty pants guessing the ending and the next minute realising, yeah, I really didn’t have the first clue and feeling kind of sheepish. Lisa is one of three strong female characters hiding their devastating secrets from the world in this story.This one’s about a woman who goes back to summer camp where her friends went missing years ago, and new disaster strikes.

And this—she takes her other hand from behind her back to reveal a single glass bottle of bubbly— is for when you’ve nailed it. This is no empty pastiche, however, but a smart updating of the Gothic form, one rooted in a tough-minded vision of female solidarity and empowerment. Lisa, Ava’s teenage daughter, is a lovely young girl – she’s growing up though and straining against the restraints of Lisa’s parenting and over bearing protectiveness.It was sad at times since Bree had to deal with her emotions over the death of her sister along with attempting to get custody of Erin’s two devastated children, Luke and Kayla. I wish there was a little more to the ending–a lot was glossed over that I felt could have been explained more thoroughly. The main character of this story must also confront signs of danger in and around her own home and decide whether her friend is the person she claims to be.
