It's always risky going back and re-reading old favorites from high school. Sometimes, you get to rediscover a great story, but more often than not you're just reminded of how bad your taste was at 15. I remember mostly loving this book for the gimmick. All the little paper and photos and clues that come with it are cool and the artwork is pretty. The phone numbers written throughout the book even still work. But now that I'm older, I can see just how much this book was trying to capitalize onThis book gets 5+ stars for being the most immersive reading experience that I've had in quite some time. From the plethora of clues stuffed in the front pocket of the diary to the intricate doodles that decorate the diarys narrative, this read is unique. Newspaper clippings, Chinese restaurant menus, torn of pieces of a photograph, an actual napkin with a lip print, these are just some of the amazing extras that are provided to the reader as proof of the story. If that isnt enough, try calling
This was a thrift store find for me and I'm so glad I picked it up. A cute little gem of a book that is interactive for the YA audience, with working phone numbers that you can call and websites and art pieces to look up. It is written like a journal with doodles and handwritten notes in the margins as well as evidence that Cathy finds along the way that you can inspect to see if you can figure out what is going on before Cathy does. A very original idea that is perfect for getting your teens to

First, I loved the artwork and the creativity. But, the plot didn't really grip me and want me to keep reading. It reminded me a little of Twilight??? I am unsure if I will pick up the second book... but the artwork is awesome.
The concept of this series is so original!!! I loved it!
I caught this one on the bargain shelf at Barnes and Noble. The whole packaging just drew me in (not to mention the $6 price!). The drawings, the package of stuff at the beginning, the whole journal set-up. For the price, I decided to give it a try.Well this was definitely an interesting one. I loved Cathy's voice even though her persistence in the whole situation got a little grating every once in a while. I have to agree with her mom in the "you better find a rich guy to support you" mantra
