19 MINUTES POST # 4

I haven't had a chance to read that much since the last time that I blogged but I have found out some new information. I am about a little over halfway into the book so far and it just keeps getting more intense. Now Alex has recused herself from the case because Jordan, the defense lawyer, wanted to use Josie as a witness for the case. It turns out that Jordan was not even planning on using Josie as a witness but he just said that he was going to in an attempt to get Alex off the case. There are a couple new developments in the book that are very important. First of all we discover that the paragraphs before the beginning of new chapters are not written from the perspective of Peter, as I had thought before, but they are from Josie's point of view. I was really shocked at this because it seemed that it was clearly Peter who had written this because in the paragraphs it talks about depression, suicide, the fear of not being popular, and parents who don't understand. This all makes perfect sense for Peter who was suffering from all those things but now that I have found out that it is Josie's thoughts I can see how these things and feelings could also be related to her. By finding this out it makes the book even more interesting and intense. The second thing that we find out is that Alex and Patrick, the detective on the case, start having a relationship. It starts off with them meeting at random places and times and then ends with Patrick coming over with a bottle of wine and kissing Alex. I think that this is really good because there needs to be a little happy things in this book because it's all pretty sad right now. I still haven't found out if Josie truly doesn't remember anything or not but I hope to start to find out soon.
