    While I did enjoy this book to a certain extent I felt that the beginning was a bit too interesting. I know that sounds weird but the beginning just made the rest of the book a bit more boring for my experience. There were also some pointless chapters, such as Cathy’s chapter. It just didn’t really have a point. The main characters Eilean was an interesting character. You genuinely felt sorry for her for what happened to her friends. When Sarah’s mother yells at Eilean you felt sorry for her. She was constantly blamed for what happened.

    Eilean was not the average girly girl in the story. She had a strong heart and will. Lines such as “she’s the reason our baby’s in here!” and “After this morning, were sure there’s a pact. We think you’re part of it.” It just amazed me that she didn’t punch the people who said that. It shows that she cares about here friends since she ally’s herself with the school bully Ron. She knew she needed to though to find Cathy. “WE NEED TO FIND CATHY!” and “`I’m going to check on her.” Are lines that show she majorly cares about Cathy very much, almost like a sister.

    Really, the most redeeming thing about this story was the storyline, while I found characters like Ron and Jamie to be weak. I found Eilean and Sarah to be interesting and that made me want to keep reading. Overall, I liked this book. If you can find a copy you should check it out.
