Jason has met the perfect girl. OK, so maybe he hasn’t actually MET Lacey yet, but they talk online all the time. Yet despite spending most nights chatting, Lacey refuses to meet up in person. Suspicious, Jason googles multiple newspapers. Lacey fell off a balcony and died a year earlier. Jason meets Lacey’s best friend Jenna, and they try to find the truth.
This was actually a very solid younger teen story, expertly set in the post-MSN, Facebook fueled world of teens in the here and now, or at least a year or so ago. The plot twists, whilst clear in outline were well managed and the idea of the work was a good one.
