A heroine who has a brother who desperately needs a kidney transplant.īut unfortunately, while I do agree that this was a fast-paced novel, it wasn't something that left a huge impact in me. A social media tool that promises to fulfill your every need if you do certain conditions ģ. A small town full of selfish high schoolers Ģ. Who else is dead? And who killed them?Īt first glance, NEED by Joelle Charbonneau sounds like the fricking bomb. Wishes are typed in blithefully free of the inconvenience of a deeper thought process. If it were me, I'd type in "I NEED A KIDNEY FROM A CONSENTING AND WILLING ADULT DONOR WHO MATCHES MY BROTHER AND WHO WISHES TO HELP" instead of "I NEED A KIDNEY."Īnd that's how it goes. A human has to be cut open to get a kidney. If it were me, here would be my thought process. Her wish: I NEED A KIDNEY FOR MY BROTHER.Well, how sweet of her. So our main character has a brother who's sick and/or dying. JOIN YOUR FRIENDS IN DISCOVERING HOW MUCH BETTER LIFE CAN BE WHEN YOU ARE PRESENTED WITH AN ANONYMOUS WAY TO EXPRESS YOUR THOUGHTS AND ARE GIVEN THE TOOLS TO GET THE THINGS YOU NEED.That doesn't look suspicious at all! YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED TO NEED-THE NEWEST, INVITATION-ONLY SOCIAL MEDIA SITE FOR NOTTAWA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. We all should know better."Yeah, they should. Real-life teenagers are a little smarter than that. Do the teenagers in this book fall for it? Sure they do. A website that promises to fulfil your wishes. Which is why it's just seriously stupid and this book makes its teenagers look even dumber by having them fall so perfectly into the trap. Things that sound too good to be true probably are. Books like The Monkey's Paw demonstrates it perfectly well. If anything, this book only serves to highlight how stupid teenagers are. The words "chilling" and "thriller" is used in the blurb to sell this book. I give you the Table of Contents of this book. Sometimes, there is such a thing as too many narrators.
