The novel I read for the third quarter was Suicide Notes From Beautiful Girls by Lynn Weingarten. This thriller/young adult novel describes the life of June and her best friend, Delia. They loved each other and shared an infinite number of secrets that tied them together. It is really funny how one night can change everything for the worse or the better...This story happened to be about the worse. When Delia commits suicide, nothing is ever the same, and June is determined to find out the truth. I have got to say that I have mixed feelings about this novel. It started off great, building up a more suspenseful plot. However, the middle to the end of the novel made me confused and left me with numerous questions that I will never get the answer to. Also, I totally predicted the not-so-unexpected twist that Delia was not actually dead. There are thousands of thriller and/or suspenseful novels, and I believe that this book will not be read in 100 years.
This novel is actually really captivating and intriguing though. I would never want to discourage people to not read this because it is unlike any books I have read before. The novel is consisted of the different points of views between the characters, such as June and Delia. I really like how the reader will get an explanation from Delia about her decision to fake her death. I am not trying to give away too much information in case anyone wanted to read it, but the way the author designs each character in this novel is outstanding. Each character has some kind of influence on each other, and the ending blows my mind. The readers will be able to connect to many things in the novel, whether it be the characters and their decisions, the plot, or maybe even the riveting development of the characters. I know that I felt so surprised and angry for some of the decisions made by the characters (yes I got very into the book at one point while reading). Suicide Notes From Beautiful Girls is very interesting, and it is a great book to read in the mean time. However, I do not believe that this is more so sophisticated to intrigue and compel thousands of readers to read 100 years from now.
This novel, sounds very interesting and I would really like to read, even if people won't in 100 years. I understand how a book can be captivating well written, but just short of being enough to be continuously generation after generation.
