"She's right. For the first time in what seems like forever, I have a smile on my face"(234).

Like I said before a lot of times, Callie had a rough past, a rough life. Everyone thought she was the real murderer for all this time. Although, it wouldn't be hard to believe based on everything that happened in her past with Katherine and her other "friends". Callie believe that she is free, phisically, but emotionally I believe she is trapped once again.

"I'm still looking up at Slade. Tears have begun to roll down his cheeks.

And that's how I know it's true"(244).

I don't think it is fair for Callie to suffer so much. Specially from a person that she loves so much! Slade lied to Callie, he even helped her hide from the police but never had the guts to tell her that all this drama was his fault. WHY?!

Final Thoughts

I can't believe I finished the book. It is by far the best book I have read this year. The twist at the end was my favourite part of the book. It is like living in the story. I followed Callie every single step throught her journey and felt the same nerves she perceived. Callie definetely grew up as an adult and she is now more aware of what is happening on her surroundings. It has been without a doubt a journey for me too. I've been into this book sice the very beginning and I can't wait to read the next one from this trilogy. I strongly recommend this book to anyone that loves mystery and obiously DRAMA.

Wait... What Just Happened

Synopsis

Callie was at a subway station with 4 other people. It turns out they were there on purpose because of Callie's phone. But wasn't it un-traceable? Once again she is hiding in a van and suddenly she sees a lawyer come out of Mia's house also Griffen and 2 men dressed in black. Perhaps Mia & Griffen have something to do with the crime. After some other encounters, Callie is now determined to talk to Congresswoman Jenkins. After getting some sleep, Callie recounts what Mia said when she confronted Katherine. At last Callie gets to talk to the Congresswoman and she asks her some questions about Slade... She hides again but this time she gets caught by Chief Jenkins. Callie is being questioned and if she "admits" she killed Katherine she could go free...

"You'll do it because you have nothing else to lose"(166).

This quote is kinda right in the situation of Callie because her life is basically very complicated. Her brother Sebastian is in jail and everyone thinks her family is weird. Then, Katherine made Callie break up with Slade because she felt like saying it to her. And last but definetely not least, People thinks that Callie is the main reason why Katherine is dead. 

"The thing about how it used to be that kids had to be good at something, but now all you need is to be born rich?"(216).

I could definetely relate to this quote because even there is always thta group of girls or guys that have a big amount of money. The people that have the latest phone, or the clothes that are trending. Even little kids nowadays have more tecnological stuff that we do now. Back in the day, you were popualr if you were a cheerleader or a football player for example. 

Final Thoughts

The book is getting to an end and I am exited and nervous. I really hope that Callie is smart enough so she regrets the offer of "pretending" she is guilty. Now Callie is beginning to trust only in her instinct and not her friends. She saw a lwayer come out of Mia's house and Griffen with two men dressed in black! What does that mean? Are they betraying Callie? HOw do they even know each other? I am expecting that Callie is left free because nobody deserves to be unhappy, specially if you're being incriminated.

What If...

Synopsis

While Callie was talking with Griffen he told her that he received threatening messages saying they wanted to kill him AND Katherine! Since the chief police is Dakota's uncle Callie is starting to believe that he is "protecting" her. People now know how Callie looks like because the police found the bag with her hair in it. For that matter she needs to hide but she doesn't want to. She goes to a soccer game where she can mix with people (THERE WAS SLADE) but the police arrived. She manages to escape and goes to Jerry's house (Sebastian's best frind) because he was a computer wiz. He couldn't recover the deleted Griffen messages but he made her phone untresable. Callie calls Slade and he want t see face-to-face and that makes Callie suspicious. After talking to Slade she remembers that the knife that killed Katherine was the same she saw at Dakota's house. Fair enpugh, Callie confronts Dakota through text messages.

"'I love you Cal'

'I love you Slade,' I believed it in my head, but it wasn't what I was feeling in my heart"(126)

Katherine is a really big influence inside Callie's mind. Callie always makes me assume that making what other people want just to fit in also known as peer pressure is a bad thing. But she always do was Katherine tell her to do. On the other hand, Slade wanted to see Callie face-to-face and he also told the cops that they talked... Is Slade trying to betray Callie just as everybody else? IS he trying to get revenge?

"'I CAN HELP you get what you want'

'But there's always a catch right? Something I'll have to do for you?'"(140).

Interested people be like...

This is exactly what I meant. There is never going to be one person that offers himself/herself for help without asking for something. This is why I believe that  Dakota and Slade are together behind this because they both are angry for one reason. Slade is "mad" with Callie because she dumped him. And Dakota is "angry" or jelaous of Callie because Katherine was starting to like Callie more than her. Perhaps they both want revenge.

Final Thoughts

Little by little the secets are starting to reveal and I am so exited to finally find out the truth behind this exceptional story. The characters' personality are beginning to rise and expose their true self. Callie is starting to really know her so-called-friends and seeing the with new eyes. She is having her own clues and she is coming to her own conclusions. But she was already incriminated,What if her clues are wrong? What if she ends up incriminating someone else? Going against someone requires courage, power and valuable information.

XOXO Gossip Girl

Synopsis

Callie recounts her experience with Slade and what happened between them and why Katherine had a big role in their break up. When Slade returns with the stuff Callie needed to disguise herself, they realize that the picture of Callie next to the dead body is VIRAL. While they are in the abandoned building they have time to talk, and hey discuse and argue the chances that Dakota has to be the murderer. Callie decides to take a walk and enters a store, in a newspaper in a big headline, she is shocked  because police thinks that "Sex Assault" is the reason of the murder. She goes visit Tallon (one of her friends) but she wouldn't tell anything about Dakota to her, but she gave her a name that was very important in this case "Griffen". After escaping from the police once again, Callie founds Griffen and he gives her valuable information about Dakota.

"My only chance is to act like I'm just another punk with someplace to go.

It's a good thing they can't hear the thudding of my heart"(67).

Reading this chapter..

I feel pitty for Callie because she has a scary past. Her brother Sebastian is in jail and because of that people don't find it hard to believe that she killed Katherine. 'Don't judge a book by it's cover' they are incriminating Callie for a silly misunderstanding, they only have  picture and rumors to "prove" that she is guilty. And in top of that her so called friends and by that I mean "Dakota" she didn't made any effort in helping Callie when She found her. That puts matter into perspective.

"Why did Mia write that she had to meet me face-to-face?(88).

Is it just me or another friend is going to betray poor Callie. Bcause as far as I know Mia is one of Katherine's minions. Or perhaps she actually thinks that Callie doesn't have anything to do with the murder. Although, Mia was one of the "end of the table" girls so perhaps she was the one that killed Katherine for revenge from everything she had done to her. At the end of the day KAtherine wa a pure hipocrite.

Final Thoughts

This book is so far AMAZING. It has a lot of recherche twists that makes you rethink the setting and the purpose. It contains a lot of mistery and suspense at the same time that hooks you to the book in an unpredictable way. Every single ,tiny, little event is so well described that just makes the setting and the story feel REAL. I feel like I am traveling in a world full of intimacy and unsolved enigmas. I just hope that the incrimination won't lead to any further dramatic events.
