I loved this book.The characters are so strong and wicked you can't help but have a love-hate relationship with them. I started reading and didn't stop until I was done.
Amelia is a 15 year old girl who just wants to fit in at her private school. This leads her to the "Magpies", a club of really mean girls who make her life miserable. Amelia is humiliated and bullied at the hands of the club leader, Zadie, but this is only part of her trouble. She's accused of plagiarizing and gets suspended. Kate, Amelia's mom is dealing with the suspension when she gets a phone call telling her Amelia has committed suicide. Kate is in shock and confused she thought she knew her daughter. Adding to her confusion is a text message she received: Amelia did not jump. The story is told in alternate voices. Amelia tells her story leading up to her death and Kate is in the present. We find out that both had secrets but are they worth dying over?
