The Perfect Girl by Gilly MacmillanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Zoe is a young girl--except, she isn't young at all when it comes to the experiences life has handed her, by age seventeen. She is a brilliant pianist, but after playing a concert, her life is shattered for a second time because, by midnight her mother is dead.
This book is more than just about Zoe. It's also about the people around her. And when Zoe learns the truth about what happened to her mother, she has to decide what to do about it, and that decision will chart the course for the rest of her life.
This book was amazing in its intensity and exploration of character. It was so much more than a narrative of events and feelings. It probed deeply into why people do what they do--how they think, and the consequences of actions--one building upon another. The writing was skillful, the plot enthralling, and the outcome somewhat unexpected.
