Wealer uses the alternating narrators, Kathryn and Brooke, to show us how they became friends and eventually rivals of each other. I did not expect the ending that Wealer chose, but that does not mean I thought the ending was bad.
Kathryn and Brooke are both into singing, so those of you who like Chorus and Honors Choir might like this novel. Instead of immediately letting us know what the problem is between Kathryn and Brooke, Wealer lets the story unfold with flashbacks leading up to the fatal incident and the repercussions afterward.
Because we just finished reading Julius Caesar and watched the video comparing Mean Girls to the play, this novel is similar to those two. This is a good mix of the too with the realism of high schools today. We all know who our "rival" is and what led up to the rivalry, but does everyone know both sides of the story?
