4th cover:
Send to friend the most admired woman in college, beautiful, attractive, bright, cheerful, bold? Christa when she turns to the shy and solitary White can not believe that happiness almost overwhelming.In the midst of revision, I can not really get into reading a big block. Nothing better than a short and well written Nothomb to relax: D
She does not hesitate to give him everything, and it begins to install home to spare him a long train journeys. White will quickly understand how terrible trap she fell. For his new friend is manipulative reveals a disturbing needing to assert themselves by torturing the victim. At that point White will have to choose: to let destroy, or defend themselves.

few small caveats though: some events are predictable and the ending is rather disappointing. Outcome levels, I knew better at Amelia.

I was sixteen. I possessed nothing, neither material nor spiritual comfort. I had no friends, no love, I had not lived. I had no idea I was not sure to have a soul. My body was all I had.
