Della’s confident she can win Gary back if she has the chance –she’s model-thin and very pretty, after all. She thinks it’ll be super romantic, even though the other members of the Outdoors Club will be there, including Suki Thomas, ‘who had obviously joined just to be close to Gary.’ The Outdoors Club’s overnight is happening on Saturday, so Della’s planning on apologising to him then. At this stage, she doesn’t deserve him back.
He passes right by her at school without giving her a chance to talk, but I feel like if she really wanted him back, she wouldn’t let him ignore her, or she’d visit him at home, or even call him, or do something that requires a little effort on her behalf.
Prom has come and gone, though, and Della hasn’t heard from Gary Brandt since their big fight. The heart is just a reminder of how she angrily broke up with Gary three weeks ago, ‘never dreaming that he would take her seriously, that they wouldn’t make up in time for the spring prom.’ ‘Someone had scratched the heart, and the words DELLA and GARY inside it,’ last September, which seems to imply that neither Della or Gary did it themselves. The book begins with our heroine, Della O’Connor, at her locker, groaning inside of her locker door. Ricky – The annoying jokester of the group. Suki – The baddest bitch in Shadyside who’s getting cosy with Gary. Pete – The preppy guy who has a crush on Della. Maia – Della’s bestie who’s quite childlike. Gary – Della’s ex who’s not got a thing with Suki. Will she be as great as I expect her to be? Only one way to find out! Let’s read! Recapĭella – Our heroine who’s obsessed with her ex, Gary. It’s also great to see the frequently mentioned Shadyside bike, Suki Thomas, on the cover! She looks very out of place, almost like she’s some kind of fantasy/sci-fi character and not a Shadyside teen. And he’s threatening them all, forcing them back to Fear Island to find the evidence they forgot to bury…įirst impressions: I have waited a long time to get my hands on the book and I’m glad to finally be able to read it! It sounds like a similar setup to Class Trip, one of my favourite recaps so far, but with a blackmail/stalker main plot, which sounds fun! So many of the books I’ve recapped feature a character or two from this one, so it’ll be nice to actually see what they’re like. Suddenly all of her friends are involved, prisoners in a conspiracy of silence, trying to conceal the terrible truth. So what if their advisor can’t go on the overnight to Fear Island-Won’t it be more fun with no adults around?īut it’s no fun at all when Della gets lost in the woods, and the dangerous stranger appears, whispering threats, driving her to a violent act. Summary: “Nothing bad will happen,” Della O’Connor assures her friends in the Outdoors Club. Tagline: They shared her terrible secret- but could they get away with murder?
