SIA

Sia by Josh Grayson

 

Sia by Josh Grayson is a great debut novel. The story captured my attention from the start. Yes, once you see where the story is going the book gets somewhat predictable. I think that the author did such a great job of grabbing me from the get go that this was not a problem for me. I liked to see Sia mature and turn around her former self. The story was about life's journey and was well written. This book also contained delicate subject matter and was addressed well.
Synopsis:
When seventeen-year-old Sia wakes up on a park bench, she has no idea who or where she is. Yet after a week of being homeless, she's reunited with her family. At school, she's powerful and popular. At home, she's wealthy beyond her dreams. But she quickly realizes her perfect life is a lie. Her family is falling apart and her friends are snobby, cruel and plastic. Worse yet, she discovers she was the cruelest one. Mortified by her past, she embarks on a journey of redemption and falls for Kyle, the "geek" she once tormented. Yet all the time she wonders if, when her memories return, she'll become the bully she was before…and if she'll lose Kyle.(
