The one thing I do not like is how the story cuts off and we have to get the next book to see what happens. Yes, I do know this is a prequel. Thing is the story is so great that it is very hard to be left off right when the harder part for Allie is coming up.The title, Rumors, is an accurate depiction of what goes on in this book. Teens can sometimes be nasty beings with their talking behind your back. Like all tales, they get distorted beyond belief. Unless dealt with, the rumors can become the truth. Sadly, for Allie, talking about things is no longer possible since Maddie's death. Maddie was Allie's little cousin who died in an accident when she fell into the water. Try as she might, Allie could not quite grasp Maddie's hand and Maddie drowned. Allie made it out by the skin of her teeth. If any of you has ever been the lone survivor of a accident when the survivor was a loved one, you know what Allie went through, Add the fact that Allie is a teen, you can times her problems dealing with this by 3.Her Dad calls her almost at the beginning of summer with an ultimatum. If you want college money, come with me and my new wife and step-son to that same lake where Maddie died. Allie balks, but she feels she has no choice but to go if she wants to go to college.Is her Dad right? Will this help Allie onto the path of healing? The next book will tell the story and it is on sale now.This book, except for a couple kisses and a one time drinking, is a clean book. I would recommend it for age 14 on up. It is also a good teaching tool on how to deal with problems.
