As part of a school project, Cassie, Em and Lydia are forced to exchange letters with students at Brookfield High. Everything starts out peacefully, but what else could they expect from a school of 'slightly disturbed', psychotic, drug-dealing students but an unexpected surprise?
Eventually, as the three best friends continue their pen-pal project, they soon realise that this project could either be one of two things: the spark to a romance, or a devastating roller coaster of betrayal and lies.

This book is honestly one of the funniest I've ever read. It's written in an original context, plainly in either letters, memos or diary entries. I like how Jaclyn Moriarty leads you on by making everything seem bright and serene, only to reveal a darker, more sinister side to the novel. I think the plot of the book is meaningful and deals with a lot of character development and growth.
My only complaint is that some scenes were too rushed. I honestly also felt that the novel would've been more interesting if the author had included more clues as to what would happen later in the story, instead of suddenly stating a shocking fact which makes no sense from the reader's point of view.
Still, without a doubt, I highly recommend reading this book. ;)
