Then the unspeakable happens. Kai is outed online ... and he kills himself.
Jem knows nothing she can say or do will bring him back. But she wants to know who was responsible. And she wants to take them down.
A searing story of love, revenge and betrayal from a bestselling author.
So, how many people has read this book? I really started it on impulse. I was browsing through the unread books on my Kindle and I saw this one. And when I came home I finished it. It was just me staying untill 2 AM. Nothing new! I haven't read that many books with gay characters in them. I don't have nothing against them, quite the opposite- I usually love gay characters.
Kai and Jem:
I don't think I can make separate topics about them They were good friends and I can talk about the one without talking about the other. Ummmmm, I think Kai could have handled the video without killing himself. He said it himself: I just have to wait for someone to do something more embarrassing on the next party! He really should have waited. But I guess without him dying there would have been no plot and no book. I didn't like that Kai was trying to change Jem with those challenges. Maybe she likes herself like that. You have no right to try to change that. He was always saying she doesn't have to do thse challenges only because he is dead, but, of course, he knows that she will do them no matter what he tells her. Why? BEcause you are dead and she considers those challenges your death wishes. That's why!!Letters:
On the other hand I really liked the letters. They were funny and great and some of them made me cry. I think the book was a bit too fast in the beginning. It was like one chapter means one month. And there was a letter in every chapter. But soon things started to slow down and even drag at tomes and I just wanted to skip a few pages and get to Kai's next letter.Girl-gets-revenge:
I was really afraid at some point of this book that it will turn into girl-gets-revenge type of book. I really read a lot of those this year. And by a lot I mean 5 or 6. It can seem little to you, but it feels like reading the same book over and over gain. Luckily this book wasn't like that.The Ending !!!!Spoilers!!!!
Well, of course it had a sad ending. Of course! Jem couldn't just live her life and make her dreams come true. (Whatever her dreams were!) No! She just had to die. And she was going to choose life if she had only waited a few more hours. It's really stupid!! This ending left me crying. At least it wasn't as bad as Allegiant. After that last sentence from her where she says she chooses life too late. I was like: Did she do it? Did she? Did she? No, she didn't! Oh, yes she did! And you know the last chapter makes it even harder. With the message that Sasha has awakened and Kai's last letter. Talking to the "wiser" Jem.Sasha:
Sasha was really a typical popular girl. She was a bit of dumb at times and annoying, but I really think she was a good friend to Jem. And Jem shouldn't have said what she said to her in the end. She shouldn't habe gotten that kind of ending. But there had to be something tragic in the book, something that we dob't expect.Romance:
So one of the main things in this book is that Jem is in love with Kai, but really she never thought about him that way in the book. I mean, she obviously didn't stop liking him after he told her he was gay. And yet she didn't think about him as more than a friend in the book. But I didn't get one thing. Did she fall in love with Lucas? And my second question is: Are Lucan and Jem some kind of sex machines? Really, if I can trust what Jem says they did it all the time. It's just so...so...I don't even know what to say!I think that it from me! I guess the moral of this book is: Don't try to kill youself, because you are going to regret it when it's too late! This might not be the moral exactly, but this is a fair poin, I think!!
See ya next time with another review. I'm going to be reviewing "Born wicked "and "Opal" soon and maybe "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", too!
