Review: Girl, Unframed

Girl, Unframed by Deb Caletti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sydney is growing up and that means her body is changing too.  She has started noticing that boys and men both are giving her attention and she starts to wonder where the line between flattery and obsession is.  Sydney is supposed to spend the summer with her mother, but since her mom is the famous Lila Shore, Sydney knows that she will not be on the top of her mother’s plans.  Will Sydney be able to decipher when attention is good and when it is bad?  Will Sydney be able to keep herself safe when so many young ladies before her could not?

Girl, Unframed is a standalone realistic fiction story that covers many truths about growing up in today’s society.  The actions that take place in this book may have been extremes from the entertainment industry, but that does not mean they only happen there.  Caletti gives hints about what may or may not be coming with titles of what seems to be evidence of proof … of what; you must read further into the book to find out.  Although this book is listed as a thriller, it is the story BEFORE the action with the mystery being dangled in front of the reader during the majority of the book.  A good book, but requires a little bit of perseverance.
