In the aftermath of her sister Zoë's murder, Echo struggles to piece things together. Her parents hide behind work and prescriptions, school friends stare and whisper, and no one can reach Echo's inner sanctum of grief except Zoë's boyfriend Marc. When Marc produces Zoë's diary, her secrets tumble out: sex, drugs, true love, and ultimately death by an Internet stalker. Using the diary, Echo repairs her grieving family, eases Marc's guilt, and stops another sexual predator. Noël tells the story through the first-person narrative of Zoë's and Echo's diaries, using a conversational style that makes a quick read . . . These issues merit discussion, and Noël presents them without preaching or judging.”VOYA Voice of Youth Advocates
Fifteen-year-old Echo was a typical teen until last year, when her older sister was murdered. Now she is treated like a pariah by the other students, who whisper behind her back. She is struggling to come to grips with her grief and life without Zoë, and her parents are numb and have become overprotective. Zoë was the rebel, the bad one, while Echo has always been the good girl. While the killer has been caught, shadows still surround the possible role Zoë's boyfriend played in her death. When he gives Echo her sister's diary, it is her opportunity to find out what really happened. Reading the journal takes Echo into Zoë's secret world and interactions with people scarier than she ever imagined. The story reveals the hidden dangers of social networking on the Internet and date-rape drugs. Noël gets the message across without being preachy; readers will learn from it and enjoy the novel's suspense and intrigue.”Sheilah Kosco, School Library Journal
