Commentary Concering Books Something Wicked

  Sixteen-year-old Melissa’s most recent troubles stem from a secret: her twenty-eight-year-old boyfriend, Michael, has just broken up with her. Even though the relationship is clearly over, Melissa clings to the past, riding a never-ending wave of hope and disappointment. Meaningless sexual escapades, drunken nights, and drug-induced blackouts help her deal with heartbreak, but her pain goes much deeper than her failed relationship. Along with a broken heart, Melissa has to cope with the memories of her younger brother’s death; the non-existent parenting of her insecure, flighty mother; being juggled between social workers and psychologists; and getting kicked out of school and sent to a special program for at-risk youth. So when the cracks in her life threaten to tear her apart, Melissa has to decide whether to keep fighting—or to let go.

Notice Of Books Something Wicked

3 1/2 stars. It was a darkly passionate story, however I feel like it wrapped up too neatly in the end and sort of took away from the depressive struggles of the protagonist.Review to Come June 1.

it was an ok book it showed what some teens might be going through ...drugs, sex ,and just trying to find yourself

This book taught me just how important a family is really to a child.

Melissa is messed up. At 16 years old she has experienced life in ways that most of us will not. Her younger brother's death from leukemia was the beginning of a descent into drugs, violence and reckless sexual behaviour. She thinks she has it all together, but part of her knows that she is lying to herself. as events escalate and her behaviours bring her into contact with the law, things look like they may push her over the edge. Part of her wants to let go and be done with it all, but part of

I found Something Wicked at my local library and was intrigued by the awesome cover and the Canadian author sticker. I love Canadian authors, especially forgotten ones like Lesley Anne Cowan. I had no idea what to expect out of the book and was caught completely off guard by it's dark plot and characters. Melissa was such an interesting character to read about. While I sympathized with her plight to define herself separate from her negative home environment and previous history I was also

I reccommend this book to any teenager in general.Cover art: Interesting... Not a huge fan of the cover though, may I say. It does create an accurate description of Melissa from the book, but other than that I don't really see anything special. I'm not sure what the lines are supposed to symbolize. To me, it seems to symbolize perhaps the fact that in the book Mel
