The Girl in the Headlines

De: Hannah Jayne

Narrado por: Amy McFadden

The headlines say she killed her family. The truth? She doesn't remember.

Andrea McNulty goes to sleep on her eighteenth birthday with a near-perfect life. The next morning, she wakes up covered in blood. Her parents were killed in the middle of the night . . . and she's the prime suspect.

Andrea McNulty has a wonderful life: she's a high school field hockey star, a doted-upon big sister, the beloved daughter of two happy parents. But when she wakes up in a motel room the morning after her eighteenth birthday, she's covered in blood and can't remember what happened the previous night.

According to the news, Andi's parents were brutally attacked in the middle of the night. Her father is dead, her mother is in a coma, her little brother Josh is missing—and Andi is the prime suspect. Terrified and on the run from the police, Andi teams up with Nate, the sympathetic boy working the motel's front desk, to find the real murderer. But while the police are getting further from the killer, the killer is getting closer to Andi—closer than she could ever have imagined.

Most foolish protagonist

THE GIRL IN THE HEADLINES was one of my most anticipated books of the year. The story was worse than not meeting my expectations, it was terrible.

Eighteen-year-old Andi had the common sense of a six-year-old on bad day. Note to self: when trying to evade the police, don’t dye hair blue is just one example of her sheer stupidity.

The only plus for the story was that Andi was bright enough to recognize running from the cops wasn’t conducive to romance.

If THE GIRL IN THE HEADLINES could have gone the campy/fun route if it didn’t take itself so seriously. Sadly, I can’t think of a reason to recommend the book.
