This book was one which gave me a lot to think about.

It is all about secrets and how everything can revolve around them and it is a love story.

I liked it how people all helped eachother when they most needed it, even if they were not sure who to trust. Another reason I liked it was because it was gripping and brought up some interesting points.

I did feel that some bits were quite gory and that there was quite a few loose ends not properly tied up, but other than that, it was very good.

"Daisy Davenpot has it all - stunning looks, a spectacular house, a seriously gorgeous boyfriend.

And if life isn't hard enough already, Daisy's new school is a world away from her old one. And the school bully is going to make sure she remembers it..."

I enjoyed this book and it was a fun, easy read which I thought was quite ammusing in many parts. It is an exiting story all about self-confidence and friendship. The only thing that I didn't like and thought was slightly unrelistic was a part at the end where something (now I won't say what as it may spoil the book!) happened very fast and didn't make sense. It was also something which I doubt would ever really happen in real life.

It is a light, girly book which isn't going to challenge you but is nice as a wee break from reading lots of heavy stuff.
