Accomplice

by Eireann Corrigan

How far can you go for attention?

Finn and Chloe have it all figured out. It's not enough to be clever,
good looking or sporty. To get on, you've got to get noticed.
You've got to be famous for something, right?

Chloe decides there's another way to get attention. She and Finn
will stage her own disappearance - and then Finn will be the one
who finds and saves her.

It seems like a good idea, until things go badly wrong. What seemed
victimless isn't so innocent anymore. And it's Finn who must deal
with the fall-out.

Reviews

The idea for this book is really interesting, but the writing fell flat. I feel like the concept of the book left a lot of room for it to make a major impact, which it never did. The narrator, Finn, wasn't particularly likeable and I found myself not really caring what happened to her. I never got a good grasp of any of the characters' true personalities. Definitely a case of showing rather than telling. I was disappointed, because the premise of this book is creative and intriguing, but I just couldn't get into it.

I was also waiting for something a lot darker, to be honest. I thought it was going to end in death, some kind of horrible injury, or in Finn and Chloe completely turning on one another. It was relatively tame and quite disappointing for someone who enjoys darker endings.

I can see how this book would appeal to some people, but it just wasn't for me.
