Language 2/5: They are common when the characters are upset but not every other word.
Nudity/Sex 3/5: There is the mention of sex and some details between Delia and others but luckily no steamy scenes. A vital scene is the possible rape situation of a character. It is short and to the point.
Drug Abuse 3/5: They do use drugs but it's to explain the high's and lows of their behavior. Alcohol is present as well at parties and things.
Violence 2/5: Characters do die and inflict pain on others. They also smash a tail light of a car.
Summary
Friends come and go in life but what do you do when you find out your best friend from a year ago died? Not only did they die but they died from their worst fear? They call it suicide but clues and the help of others lead to a road you are not prepared for.
Delia was a bonfire that warmed everyone and June loved her best friend. But as usual there was something that happened and they grew apart. Jeremiah who is Delia's boyfriend at the time ask's for June's help to uncover the murderer. While uncovering evidence of a murder she finds herself at a drug lords house, in the woods, digging through trash, and questioning everyone around her.
Review
I loved it. I was at the store and it was a really rough day. I normally don't go for the New York Times Best Sellers list books but it piqued my interest. Plus it was only $6. So I thought why not. What I didn't know is that I would spend my entire Saturday from morning until evening reading it. Every page is packed with twists and turns. You can guess some but the real twist is too good to share.
I personally loved Delia and felt like her and I were cut from the same cloth. But the ending scared me the most because I sided with her. I wouldn't let pre-teens read it. If you want something that is thrilling and good quality definitely check it out. It is meant for mature audiences.
I have added it to my library. If you wan to you can too! Click here.
