Accomplice Review

So, in my spare time, I have been trying to read more and hope to read quite a bit this summer for my own pleasure as well as my class requirements... But the first book I picked up was Accomplice by Eireann Corrigan.

Set around the present, two best friends, Chloe and Finn, strive to show colleges that they are special.  They are in ASB and FFA...  They take part in volunteering...  They get good grades...  But is that special enough?  How else can they be noticed by colleges?

Simple...  Fake an abduction.

Finn and Chloe decide to stage an elaborate abduction that would guarantee their spot in any college.  Chloe stays in Finn's grandmother's vacant basement for a few things as America searches for her but as time goes on, life gets complicated for Finn... Not only does Finn have to lie to the police, she has to lie to Chloe's parents and watch them consider all the possibilities of what happened to Chloe.  She also has to keep quiet as one of their friends gets called into questioning...

I won't give up the ending but it is definitely a good book.  It really show the lengths people go to in order to stand out to colleges. And in a way can't we all somehow relate to this?  We all are looking to stand out to colleges (probably not going to go as far as Chloe and Finn).  We all know the stress they are under because lets face it, we are under the same exact stress.
