For Hope Shay the entire world is a stage. Really.
Acting has been her dream for as long as she can remember. She will do anything, anything, to get a leading role. Okay, maybe faking her own abduction was extreme. But a true actress suffers for her art. And Hope is a born actress if ever there was one.

Very intriguing.................. - |
Now You See Her Review |
|
I really enjoy Jacquelyn's writing style. This book was quick to read and kept me wondering how it would end. Very thought provoking especially in this situation. Is it really that important to be the "center of attention" constantly? Can it harm you? Find out what "Hope" the main character, feels in this story. You won't be disappointed!!! |

Inaccurate diagnosis for the unlikable narrator -  |
Now You See Her Review |
|
A friend recommended this book to me after reading it and I couldn't have disagreed more with this choice. SPOILERS******** I found the narrator to be thoroughly unlikable. Very soon into reading it, I realized that half of what was going on was a delusion. I said to my friend, Hope is psycho affective or in some delusional state- this isn't really happening. A few twists "got me" but even they were disappointing. Mainly, I was stunned by the diagnosis of "borderline personality disorder". The only accuracy to this was that there is no medication that can treat that disorder, however those suffering from BPD do not make up people or situations; the closest resemblance to this is by saying that they tend to misconstrue social situations and are plagued by obsessive and/or negative thoughts. Truly, BPD is most closely linked to a form of manic depression and sufferers experience mixed episodes and rapid mood swings. It is a MOOD disorder, a PERSONALITY disorder. Hope suffers from fugue states, hallucinations, and psychosis. She is psychotic, bordering on schizophrenic. As they say in Seinfeld, not that there's anything wrong with that, but let's call a spade a spade and a psychotic a psychotic. I don't understand why there are so many positive reviews for this; I can't recall the last time I felt I had so thoroughly wasted my time reading a book. In the end, Hope doesn't seem any better off than when she began and I found her to be an incredibly unsympathetic character. I would not recommend this book at all. Save yourself some time and read Girl, Interrupted instead. |

Not as good as some of these reviews -  |
Now You See Her Review |

This book starts to get good about halfway through. To be honest, if I had not read all the glowing reviews and bought the hardback book, I probably would not have finished it. |

fun read, but.... - |
Now You See Her Review |
|
Hope or Bernadette or the next Gwennyth or whoever she is.....is definately a Jon Benet only almost all grown up. while the book is kind of forgettable and Hope isn't particularly likeable, the story raises many important issues in today's society. what happens when nutty stage mom's push their kids beyond reason? celebrity and fame obsessed teens turn into...what? and what happens in the 'after' when a teen who has delusions of grandure turns herself into a world spectacle?
teens will enjoy this book much more than i did, but hopefully they will ask themselves the same questions as a result. |

Beyond Good -  |
Now You See Her Review |
|
Expecting this to be a book I would want my teenage grandchild to read, I went into it thinking it would be fun, light and somewhat less than captivating. I was dead wrong. Took me about two days with a very busy schedule to finish because I was so committed to finding out about the true Hope Shay (Bernadette). Whole range of opinions from disgust to sympathy. Great good!! |
