Saving Zoe

by Alyson Noel

Summary: Echo loved her big sister Zoe, but they couldn't have been more different. It isn't until after Zoe is tragically murdered that she really begins to understand who her sister was. Zoe's ex-boyfriend, who at one time was a suspect in the murder, gives Echo Zoe's diary. Chapters flip between Zoe's diary entries and Echo's story, which also slowly reveals the answer to the mystery of Zoe's brutal murder.

My thoughts: Your heart breaks for Zoe in this all too real tale of MySpace gone bad. Any teenage girl can relate to her desire to be different, and to be noticed. Yes, it's a warning of the dangers of Internet predators, but it's not preachy or cheesy--just sad. This story will make you think about what you reveal online, who your real friends are, and the importance of family.
