It's about the importance of learning to say sorry. Either way, the book was so full of raw emotion and sadness and forgiveness. Then again, maybe I chose not to see this kind of thing. I had some awful experiences with bullying but I can honestly say I don't ever recall there being anything of this calibre. I don't know whether this book is a particularly accurate representation of relationships and fall-outs in high school. I didn't foresee him becoming such a lovable character but he continually surprised me. I was unable to stop reading I cared so deeply about Regina and what the outcome of all this bullying would be for her. It was a much more dramatic story than Speak. What was different was that where the protagonist of Speak was largely ignored, Regina from this book was completely destroyed by a series of horrendous physical and mental attacks by those she had previously considered friends. Both novels were extremely well-written with characters you could relate to and believe in and they also both dealt with false accusations and the ostracisation of a girl by her friends and high school classmates. It's the only bad thing I have to say about this book and I was still left feeling certain that I would read Cracked Up to Be and Fall for Anything. This book was faultless right up until the very last minute where I felt the ending was pulled together too quickly and just ended up being a weak conclusion to a deeply emotional and, at times, horrifying novel. I'll get the small amount of negative out of the way first. Tensions grow and the abuse worsens, as the final days of senior year march toward an explosive conclusion in this dark new tale from the author of Cracked Up To Be. Friendship doesn't come easily for these onetime enemies, and as Regina works hard to make amends for her past, she realizes Michael could be more than just a friend.if threats from the Fearsome Foursome don't break them both first. She takes solace in the company of Michael Hayden, a misfit with a tragic past whom she herself used to bully. If Regina were guilty, it would be one thing, but the rumors are far from the terrifying truth, and the bullying is getting more intense by the day. Now Regina's been frozen out, and her ex-best friends are out for revenge.

until vicious rumors about her-and her best friend's boyfriend-start going around. Regina Afton used to be a member of the Fearsome Fivesome, an all-girl clique both feared and revered by the students at Hallowell High. Climbing to the top of the social ladder is hard-falling from it is even harder.
