Summary
The book
begins in the Anderson's home, where Sawyer Dodd, a very intelligent and
athletic high school student, and some other people, are saying goodbye to
Kevin Anderson who died in a car accident. Sawyer, Kevin’s girlfriend, is devastated
because of her loss but she decides to return to school, and once there, she finds
a strange note in her locker that says:
The note puzzles her
for the rest of the day and she thinks about possible meanings of the note and
people that could have sent it. When she arrives home after school, she meets a
detective who asks her some questions about the night Kevin died and wants to
see a specific pair of shoes that were found on, what the detective explains as:
the murder scene. Sawyer goes upstairs to her bedroom but can’t find the pair
of shoes that the detective describes.
Quote 1
“Heat, like
a wire, raced down Sawyer’s spine. The note was signed, “an admirer,” and that
word, admire, clawed at her. Her
fingers started to shake, and she flicked the note back into her locker and
slammed the door shut, pressing her forehead against the cool metal.” (p. 15)
What this
quote shows to me is that Sawyer is very scared of the note she received, not
only because someone placed it in her locker, but also because maybe, that “admirer”
is someone she knows and might have killed Kevin. She tries to avoid the note
and forget it which I think is a good idea so she doesn’t panic, but in my opinion,
she should tell somebody about the note so they can help her to find the person
who sent the note. As it comes to the writing, the author uses a simile in this
quote and also uses many details to show Sawyer’s emotions or reaction towards
the note.
Quote 2
“Maggie paused,
seeming to choke on the next name. “Sawyer Dodd.” She said it with a curled
lip, no attempt to mask the disdain in her voice. “Two flowers.” (p. 36)
Maggie, who
was Kevin’s girlfriend before Sawyer, shows to be somehow jealous of Sawyer in
this quote. This puts her in the suspect list of Kevin’s killer because maybe
Kevin left her to be with Sawyer and their relationship was much better,
causing Maggie to want revenge.
Conclusion
I think
someone is trying to make Sawyer look guilty of Kevin's death because of the
event with the shoes. This book reminds me of "Pretty Little Liars,"
because there is a murder and someone tries to make someone innocent look as
the killer. Also because someone is sending strange notes to make the other
person feel scared. I predict that in the next chapters, Sawyer is going
to receive new notes that are going to make her close to finding Kevin’s
killer. I’m very excited to keep reading and I look forward to discover who
killed Sawyer’s boyfriend and why.
