Who Cares What Happened To Cass McBride?
Cass McBride is your Generic High School Queen Bee who takes every extracurricular activity to pad her resume (oh, and keep Rich Daddy's approval and prove she's nothing like her Bayou-Born White Trash Mother- OF COURSE!) and uses people- especially guys- to get what she wants. She's asked out by David, who we later learn has been made to feel like nothing by his Domineering Bitch Mother who makes Joan Crawford look like June Cleaver. Cass turns him down, writes a note to her friend that insults him, he intercepts the note and kills himself soon after.
David's brother Kyle, who is about as subtly evil as your average Batman villain, kidnaps Cass and buries her alive, but woe to him as he is befelled by The Fallacy Of The Talking Killer.
As you can guess by the post title, despite Cass being the main character I could not feel for her at all (except for her twinges of guilt over David's death). Likely because a)since the story is told in flashback it was pretty obvious she was gonna be rescued, and b)a GoodReads review called this a "Law and Order morality tale for teens", which sounds about right to me. Use people for your own personal gain, get buried alive, Take That! Pretty sad that the only character I did feel for was already dead.
All in all, a frustrating read. Makes one wish the Kindle delete option did come with an animation of the file going up in satisfying flames.
