LitPick Review
Avi just moved to Santa Barbra with her family in hopes of seeking the better life they had long been denied. To her it means a new house, a new school and new faces. She begins to acclimate herself like any normal teenager: making new friends, getting a job and surviving average high school life. Except the one boy whom she finds herself infatuated with has a dark secret he can’t quite understand himself.
Opinion:
Amanda Murphy grips you in the inception of her novel, drawing you in within the first couple sentences. She embellishes her story with vivid descriptions and in-depth character development. Although the enigmatic Phoenix, Avi’s love interest, adds mystery to the plot, I found it to be predictable at times with typical high school drama. Overall it was enjoyable to read and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a fun adventure.
