The Secret Side of Empty by Maria E. Andreu

3.0

This is a quick, engrossing read and, in general, I really enjoyed it. My main concern with it, however, is that since the characters are so engrossed in the actual technology of today -- Facebook especially -- I worry that this will be one of those books that gets weeded out of libraries when it's no longer relevant to teens anymore. There is already much talk about Facebook being a dead form of social media for teens. I know that seems nit-picky, but I guess that's part of my bias as a reader: I want my contemporary fiction to feel timeless, not "of the day" so to speak.
