"The book is composed of 8 long chapters telling the story of Trixie, a young teen who claims she’s been raped by her ex-boyfriend. As the story unfolds, the reader learns that Trixie has told various lies, which creates suspense. Other serious topics addressed in this book include suicide, violence, and infidelity. The story held my interest. I skipped the comic pages that were added to each chapter because I don’t enjoy reading that format." - D. Zelamsky

"The beginning of this book is in intriguing. Why would anyone be willing to pay anything or do anything to get a copy of 1930 gas station road map of New York State. This includes a break in and murder at the New York Public Library. Well I was curious and kept reading but I found the ending just okay. BUT I really liked the author’s note in the acknowledgments which made it all worth it for me. So make sure you read it after the book." - N. McGill
