Tease
by Amanda Maciel
sequencing (10/13/2014)
Honestly, the book confused and lost me at times. There were month titles at the top of the page of each chapter, but after a while you forget who has done what at which point and you don't know what year it is. Sometimes the information was jumbled up like alphabet soup. I'm very much on the reading level as well (post college grade reading level in freshman year.) i just believe it should've started off before she killed herself, adding background, detail, and clarity. Overall, i believe it has a good story and a good purpose, however it could've been more effective with different sequencing. I enjoyed the book for the most part though; the theme and characters were developed and navigable.
