Girl Over the Edge delves into the not-so-unrealistic world of two teenager girls who go to a college party at the end of their Junior year in high school.  After a few too many drinks, pictures are taken of the girls and sent to everyone at their high school via cell phone.  The book follows the once popular girls, Beckett and Chloe, from the beginning of Senior year to the year end party. Beckett manages a little better than Chloe, to get back into the good graces of her old friends, but has to watch as Chloe implodes from the stress.  Beckett follows Chloe on many visits to Suicide Bridge, as Chloe contemplates ending her misery.  The climax of the story comes at the end of the year party, where Chloe takes drastic measures to get the one person who caused all of the misery.  A lot of truths come out, but a 'happy' ending this doesn't necessarily make.Though the book could have used a little more editing before being distributed, I would recommend this book to every teenager, just for the subject matter alone.  It shows how one mistake can change the course of your life.  It should also teach them to be more compassionate when someone does make a mistake.  It could happen to anyone - "There but by the grace of God go I."I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review.
