Wzruszyłam się na końcu i uważam że jest to książka o takiej tematyce że większość osób powinna to przeczytać.

In the end it didn't really matter after all who sent the messages, it was more about coming to terms with the loss of a sibling than anything truly murderous or scary. Fast forward one year and Skye’s mother is packing her off for a summer getaway at Morley Hill Activity and Adventure Centre for six days and five nights of back-to-back activities all fully-funded by a charity for bereaved kids. To see what really happened to Luisa was chilling, it seemed kind of too extreme for the book, which is a crazy thing to say, but when you think of Skye's life, and they're idyllic little house, it's hard to see it all going wrong, not helped by the fact Skye starts receiving text messages from Luisa, or so it seems?

But when she arrives, Skye starts receiving text messages from someone pretending to be her dead sister. Pitched perfectly at a YA audience of 12-16, the synopsis does this novel a disservice by misrepresenting it as throwaway horror novel for the teen market, when in actual fact this is a multi-layered and astute novel of a teenage girls bereavement.

Books about death aren’t for me”, just hear me out, because “Lying About Last Summer” is everything but a grim story. Quando cometemos um erro temos de aprender com ele e quando somos confrontados com uma situação similar temos a oportunidade de não o repetir.Sharing a room with sensitive and nervy Fay and spunky Dani, the other members of the group include surfer dude and highly sanctimonious, Joe, and ‘trying too hard to be different’ hunky Brandon. The book's central mystery was resolved much earlier than I was expecting, and instead giving way to an ending that was more dramatic and tense. Before that we lived in various places, including a hospital in York where my dad was a psychiatrist. There are some heavy issues throughout the book (drug dealing, minimal drug usage and suicide), but this is all handled well and shown from Skye's critical view.
