My Review
5 of 5 Going Under
Where to start this review? This book was an amazing shock to my senses. I mean I was so caught up in the story about brokenness, rape, death, friendships, and everything in between. This is such an amazing story about one girls journey to right a wrong that was done to her best friend.
We get to meet Brooke who is in her senior year of high school and all she wants to do is move on from her past and stay out of trouble. This seems like it should be easy peasy but Brooke will soon learn some things are easy in life and some are not. Trouble finds her and all she can do is roll with it. As Brooke is gearing up for a great year she discovers a secret club at school that is connected with the death of her best friend. At first Brooke is outraged by then revenge sets in and she decides that she will get revenge and put this little club out of commission so they don't hurt another girl. See the club members have sex with the girls and rate them and then discard them like they never ever existed.
Once Brook starts on her plans for revenge against the boys she is met with a lot of fight on their part because they are determined not to let her destroy the club or out them to anyone. Along the way Brook also starts to fall for a guy and that complicates things because she never thought she would fall for this guy. But Brooke is determined to take this club down and no matter what she will stop at nothing to get justice for her friend.
Can Brook succeed in taking down the club or will they take her down? Will she be able to give her heart over to the one she loves?
