 I really liked the idea of this book - a girl loses her mother in a tragic accident, and then, almost a year later, when the girl is cleaning up her mom's "studio" she finds her cell phone, with seven different messages which the mom never had a chance to hear. When Luna starts listening to the messages, which she feels is the ONLY thing to do, she finds out more and more about her mom that she didn't know.
It sounded great when I read the back but after the beginning to establish the setting, it really dragged for me in parts. I also don't enjoy books that just drift into an ending. There's no tight resolution, no significant character development, no aha moments.... overall, the ending really ruined the entire book for me. There will be some grade eight girls who will enjoy it, but I won't be pushing it too hard.

I love a good mystery, and although I correctly guessed the murderer in the first chapter, I still thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns.
