Backlash

My new book that I started for this quarter is called "Backlash". I started reading last week and i'm so into the book. It relates a lot to me because of they text it uses, and the authors 1st person perspective pieces. So a girl named Lara who is the main character so far has a relationship with this guy named Criss. One day Criss post status on Facebook about Lara and how he hated her and other mean things. For example "your fat no one wants you here, your the meanest person i've ever meet, your ugly" Simple things like that but they hurt Lara because they came from him. People saw the statuses and started blackmailing and hating Lara. Lara was having suicidal decisions, but her family didn't know until one day. Her sister Sydney wanted to go to the bathroom but Lara was in there for a long time already. Sydney was frustrated until she realized no one was moving in the bathroom. She called her mom, they called the police and her dad. Lara had overdosed on medicine. They took her to the hospital but when she was in the bed for the ambulance a girl named Bree took a picture of Lara and posted it on Facebook. Everyone was commenting and liking ext. Thats when all the rumors started.

So far this book has been very good, I have not wanted to let it down and stop reading it of how good. The book really relates to many situations that are occurring right no in our era of time. This story has a really good message and thats to not spread rumors if they don't involve you. The book so far has already told me a lot and i'm barley at the 5 chapter. Everything escalated very quick from the drama to the rumors. That sounds a lot like middle school to me. I really feel bad for Lara because this is not the first time she's been bullied its happened too times. I just want to find out what happens this time.
