It was a particular exeperience, reading this book. Just a novel, the sad story of a ill friendship. Most of us teenagers do have a similar exeperience - a mistaken friendship, nothing else. But... but there is something shocking, something thrilling into this novel, into the development of this creepy, morbid relationship between Sarah (the appearent winner: good at everything, adored by mates, intelligent...) and close, sad, problematic Charlene. You could imagine that the victim is Charlene. Somehow, she is more victim than Sarah herself. Sarah dies, killed by Charlene (that's a revenge for this shy, suffering girl), but... even Charlene has partially died - her youthness, her best ages, her love story with young Maxime... everything gets destroyed. Destroyed by murdering. So, both Charlene and Sarah get a revenge. Charlene kills Sarah, but she'll go in jail, she will moulder there for years and years.
Reading this book was a wonderful experience. It opened my eyes on the reality of Nowadays Friendship - blackmails, oppression, total lack of sensibility. I'm only nineteen, but I know this false world, where people do behave like friends, do treat you as a friend but suddenly reveal his true face. No friendship, no empaty, none of that.
It's hard to face. But it's true. This novel describes it.
