This review is of Saving Zoe by Alyson Noel.
Review:
The plot is actually a fairly simple one to follow: Echo's older sister, Zoe, was murdered and the book is about Echo's struggle to come to grips with her death.
Alyson Noel uses Zoe's final diary entries to provide insight into Zoe's character, and as a vehicle to facilitate Echo's healing. Zoe's diary entries are a little hard to swallow at times because they are not written like a real diary would be written.
Overall, the story had more believable moments than not, which I often find lacking in Noel's writing, so that was a pleasant surprise. However, there were parts that didn't seem to fit with the story. And ultimately, Echo never quite seems to connect with her sister as Noel hopes she will.
This was an incredibly quick read, and more enjoyable than not. So, if you are willing to overlook some unbelievable moments, I would recommend this book.
