Ilustration Supposing Books Lessons from a Dead Girl

An unflinching story of a troubled friendship — and one girl’s struggle to come to terms with secrets and shame and find her own power to heal.

Leah Greene is dead. For Laine, knowing what really happened and the awful feeling that she is, in some way, responsible set her on a journey of painful self-discovery. Yes, she wished for this. She hated Leah that much. Hated her for all the times in the closet, when Leah made her do those things. They were just practicing, Leah said. But why did Leah choose her? Was she special, or just easy to control? And why didn’t Laine make it stop sooner? In the aftermath of the tragedy, Laine is left to explore the devastating lessons Leah taught her, find some meaning in them, and decide whether she can forgive Leah and, ultimately, herself.

Leah Green is dead.From the first line of this book, the reader is drawn into a haunting, yet captivating novel of friendship abuse between young girls, Laine and Leah.Laine is ecstatic that popular Leah chooses her as a best friend in elementary school. Laine finally feels like she fits in somewhere. This friendship takes a dark and disturbing turn, however, when Leah convinces Laine to experiment in Laines doll room. Neither girl knows what they are feeling or why they are feeling it. Their

I read this entire book in one sitting. It's short (a little over 200 pages), but it really illustrates the power our friends can have over the rest of our lives. This book wasn't my favourite, but it was pretty good considering its length. The themes that the author tackled in this book were really well-done, especially the part about the abused becoming the abuser. I even found myself feeling bad for Leah at times, who is portrayed as both a monster and a scared, helpless young girl. A short

This has to be one of the saddest, most thought-provoking, and most moving books I have read in my life. This book tells the story of Laine (whose nickname is Lainey), who's not too popular or pretty. But that's before she met Leah Greene. Leah is basically the opposite of Lainey. Leah is popular. Leah is pretty. She's smart. She's rich. She's everything Lainey wants to be.But then things begin to get complicated. Leah begins to show interest in Lainey (or is she?). The times they share in

Review: Laines best friend for most of her life is dead. Leah Greene has died

Ugh. This story had such potential. I think the book raises serious issues that are so important to deal with, but oy, this story doesn't deal with them, it just lays them out there and leaves more questions than answers. I stopped caring about the characters. Laine, the narrator, is so self-deprecating and insecure... and she never seems to change, which is maddening. Relationships are contrived - I can't imagine a lot of these scenes EVER happening. Worst of all for me was that Leah, the

Jo Knowless book Lessons from a Dead Girl is about a girl named Laine who, when she was a young girl was raped by her friend Leah Greene. Leah had claimed that they were just practicing for when they were older, but it did not feel right to Laine who was forced into the closet all those times. Jo writes about extremely controversial topics like child abuse, sex, and drug abuse. To be honest, I was a little timid at first about reading this book because I was afraid that it would make me feel
