Nets & Lies is just WOW! This is a story that grabs you and doesn't let go. You're in it for the long haul by chapter 5 so get comfy. Nets & Lies is told thru Melanie and Jordan's POV's; Melanie's our HS golden girl, girls varsity basketball captain and girlfriend of Will the HS golden boy and son of Melanie's coach and...Jordan, well, Jordan's the girl with the bad reputation. Melanie & Will have the ideal lives and picture perfect relationship, they're both good kids, get good grades never cause trouble; you get the idea...Jordan on the other hand is prone to flaunting what she's got to get what she wants usually in the form of a man, girlfriend or wife be damned! Nothing stops her...these two girls are as different as night and day it's thru tragic circumstance their paths cross.I really enjoy this book. I felt Katie handled the subject matter honestly yet delicately and I like how she showed us how everyone involved was affected by what happened to Melanie. A lot of times you only read about what the victim is feeling or going thru forgetting how something like this affects everyone that loves them.
