The Book I chose At the library last lesson is called Somebodys' Crying. (I forgot the authors name) so far so good, i'm around page 95 and it's great. Somebodys' Crying is all about 3 young adults 2 boys, Tom and Jonty, and a girl Alice. Tom and Jonty used to be bestfriends and had been since Jonty first joined Tom's primary school but as they got into uni, a older women Lillian (jonty's aunt) ends up studying in there course because she cant make her age groups course for work reasons. Tom, Jonty and Lillian become very good friends. Together every day during uni and outside uni, at Lillians house after class. Alice is Lillians 15 year old daughter, no one really included her becuase Lillian, Tom and Jonty always drank and did drugs(Alice wasn't into that and didn't feel like she beonged to the group) Alice was always secretly in love with Tom. That is until Lillian was murdered and Jonty became the main suspect. It has been three years since Jonty was found innocent in court and they all find themselves joined together in the same little town for work, with the hatred of each other becuase they all blame each other for the murder.
I chose this book because it caught my attention instantly, the blurb had me on the first sentence, wanting to read more.
