Review: Not as suspenseful as I was expecting from the blurb

I really enjoyed reading this book from the point of view of the main character--that of a new college freshman who made notes to herself about what was going on in her life.  I liked the mental transmissions of parental messages (maybe because as a parent I hope that some of my messages got through).The developing friendships of the young women thrown together by dorm life was interesting and the characters each had their own personality.  The references to sex were just that references...no graphic descriptions which I find a real plus. The use of gutter language, while not appreciated by me, was probably in line with fledgeling adults leaving the nest.  The constant need for alcohol and drugs was disturbing.The mystery was slow to arrive and unfold, but was intertwined into the story as the main character, Rachael, picked up on the clues.
