Name: Cracked Up
to Be
Author: Courtney
Summers
Summary: This book centers on a high
school senior, Parker Fadley. The first three years she was the high strung Type A personality type. She was the
head cheerleader dating the captain of the football team on the track of
becoming valedictorian.
Then there was a
party and some big, huge, bad thing happened. And everything changed. It’s a
few months until the end of the senior school year and Parker could not be more
alone. She has isolated herself from her friends, broken up with her boyfriend,
quit the cheer-leading squad, and began failing all her classes.
Throughout the book
are flashbacks to this crazy party.
Each one gets you closer and closer to the event that changed Parker’s life.
You don’t find out until the end what happened that caused her to shut down and
be alone. (But there is a possibility that you could piece it together faster
than that.)
Main Character: I don’t really like Parker Fadley because I don’t believe that anybody really wants to be alone. But I am a huge fan of her comebacks and ‘you’re a horrible person’ snotty retorts. Also I love the name Parker for a girl.
