A review by inkygirl
Girl on the Other Side by Deborah Kerbel

5.0

I identified with bits of both Tabby and Lora, and I -know- I've met them both, back in school. I found Tabby the most fascinating character. At first she seems like a stereotypical "rich bitch" but then the reader starts glimpsing hints of the more complex aspects of her personality. I wanted to keep hating Tabby for her role in the bullying, but couldn't help but feel for her as she struggled to cope with a home situation that only seemed get worse.

I enjoyed seeing various situations and people through the eyes of Tabby and Lora -- their conflicting perspectives are an eye-opening reminder of how important it is to think for yourself. The issues of bullying, both in person and cyber-bulling, are also addressed in the story.

An engrossing and enjoyable read!
