The small town of Pine Valley in Minnesota is horrified when the body of Hattie Hoffman a popular high school student and aspiring actress is found badly mutilated in a barn.
As her death is investigated her story is retold by three characters: Hattie, Peter Lund who is her English and Drama teacher and Del a close friend of her family who is also the detective in charge of the investigation into her murder.
I wasn't expecting to like Everything You Want Me To Be as much as I did! Well plotted and written this was an intriguing story with believable characters. Hattie in particular was a great character, complex and manipulative.
The plot progressed quickly and it was so gripping that I found myself speeding through the book because I wanted to find out what happened next. The ending was a huge surprise for me, I honestly thought I knew who had killed Hattie but I was so wrong!
Overall the whole tale was very strongly told. It was well paced, highly credible, and it would make a great movie.
Recommended.
