Kenzie tries quite hard to convince herself of this. Maybe her actions aren't so wrong. But the guilt won't go away. The part she played in betraying Sierra, the part she played in causing the car accident, it all keeps nagging at her and won't go away. But all she wanted was to fit in for once. It's her senior year, live a little! And Sierra doesn't really understand Ryun, not like she does. Doesn't matter. The guilt won't go away. So what will Kenzie do about it? What if Sierra gets her memory back? What if someone else finds out? How long can she keep the betray a secret? | Extra Notes: | The theme of this series really seems to be justification of sin. The characters keep doing things wrong, but trying their hardest to convince themselves they aren't truly wrong. How do we define sin nowadays anyway? How can you know if you're really ok? And what role does God play into all this, if any at all? These are the questions Sierra, Ryun & Kenzie face as they live with the consequences - both good and bad - of their actions. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 4 |
