A person doesn't have to do anything important to get recognition anymore; it's enough to know someone who does. Parasitic fame. Casey was more than just a dependable camp counselor dedicated to her little buddies in Cabin Three. She was a brilliant student looking forward to a scholarship and a future career in entomology. Casey wasn't the kind of girl who would be stuck in a town like Galloway the rest of her life. She was really going places. And nobody knew this better than Jess, Casey's best friend. So how could a girl like Casey be arrested for the murder of a young camper under her care... Jess believes her friend is innocent and that the real killer will be caught; but in the meantime, she finds herself the reluctant center of attention. After all, she was also a counselor in Cabin Three. Jess must know something...right? Readers will readily sympathize with Jess, whose life begins to spin out of control. But award-winning author Deborah Ellis brings much more to the character of her complex and troubled narrator, who may not be entirely reliable. As the events surrounding the final weeks of August are slowly unveiled, readers will begin to question the very nature of friendship and how one finds the moral courage to be loyal, no matter what the consequences.… (plus d'informations)

E' un libro molto particolare, la storia di una non-amicizia.
Siamo subito catturati dallo stile incisivo e colloquiale, che ci porta dritti nel mezzo del dramma e terrà desta la nostra attenzione fino all'ultimissima pagina, quando finalmente riusciremo a capire dove voleva andare a parare il romanzo.
Infatti non è il solito young adult in cui due amiche per la pelle si trovano invischiate in un brutto guaio e con la forza dell'amicizia riusciranno a venirne fuori. Anzi, tutto il contrario.
E' un romanzo che gioca a sovvertire le nostre aspettative ed arrivati a fine lettura saremo costretti ad ammettere quello che ci sembrava impossibile: la narratrice Jess non è una brava persona. Ha avuto mille occasioni per fare la cosa giusta ed invece ha sempre scelto la via più comoda e facile. Ci vuole coraggio a scegliere come protagonista una ragazzina egoista e vigliacca e di questo va reso merito all'autrice: in mezzo ad un mare di young adult popolati da grandi eroi o perfidi cattivoni, trovare rappresentata la meschinità quotidiana è una piacevole ventata di novità. Peccato che non abbia mantenuto la stessa verosimiglianza col personaggio di Casey, che invece è la tipica eroina YA senza macchia e senza paura, eccessivamente perfetta e poco realistica.
L'estrema brevità poi non permette un adeguato approfondimento dei tanti temi trattati: ad esempio il background familiare di Jess non riesce a ritagliarsi il giusto spazio nell'economia della vicenda e risulta molto randomico, messo in mezzo per rendere più interessante la protagonista.
Aldilà di questi peccatucci veniali è un libro originale ed appassionante, consigliato a chi cerca uno young adult diverso dai soliti. ( )

Libro che si legge velocemente e che non annoia. ( )

I usually enjoy Ellis' books but this one didn't do it for me. I found Jess an irritating narrator and also a coward. In my opinion she was the polar opposite of what a true friend should be. She didn't have the courage and speak the truth and refused to show loyalty to her best friend. Carey, on the other hand, was a sweetie, but I found the plot slow and monotonous. ( )

A suspenseful, realistic, and compelling story exploring courage and loyalty. ( )

There is nothing I love more than a character with strength and courage, so I found it hard to love this one. Jess is certainly not a role model for teens, but I guess this book teaches from another's mistakes. Still I so wanted Jess to be a true friend to Casey that I was left feeling disappointed. At the same time I was glad that Jess didn't become a last minute and undeserving hero. Maybe this is one I need to ponder and discuss to appreciate. ( )
