IN TOO DEEP

by AMANDA GRACE

WHAT IT  IS ABOUT

Sam is in her senior year at a small high school in Washington state. She is struggling with having friends, her best friend Nick dating, and her father's reluctance to let her go. When Sam goes to a party at Carter's house, a popular athlete, she is trying to make Nick jealous. Things get out of control when Sam has too much to drink, she is seen crying with a torn blouse and the rumours start to fly as they will.

Sam does nothing to stop the rumours and it begs to the question when is it okay to lie or to not stop the lies?

WHAT I THOUGHT

There are some interesting ethical and moral questions in this book. It is a quick read because I wanted to know how Sam handled the situation or how it handled her.  I would recommend this book because the characters where believable, the pace and prose were good and the ending was satisfying.
