Chloe’s older sister, Ruby, is the girl everyone looks to and longs for,
who can’t be captured or caged. After a night with Ruby’s friends goes
horribly wrong and Chloe discovers a dead body floating in the
reservoir, Chloe is sent away—away from home, away from Ruby.
But Ruby will do anything to get her sister back, and when Chloe
returns home at last, she finds a precarious and deadly balance waiting
for her. As Chloe flirts with the truth that Ruby has hidden deeply
away, the fragile line between life and death is redrawn by the complex
bonds of sisterhood.
I want to slap myself for even reading this book really. I literally
surrendered. I’m done with this! Not interesting enough, boring! Not
clear! Sooo boring! I had yawned a couple of times just because I really
tried reading until now I’m still trying to read it until the last
page. I want to understand what is it really with Ruby. I even went back
to reading it and then…look, I’m so disappointed!! What I did: I put
the book down, flipped it through, read a bit of this bit of chapter
here and there. Read the very last chapter. Skipped. Go back to read it
again. Stopped. Read it. Skipped pages. Then… Blegh!!
I’m so into the cover, it’s so beautiful. The photography
underwater—perfect! Love it! That’s probably my only love that’ll give
the book seriously. I considered not giving a star but maybe 1 star will
do just for the stunning cover.
I am confused about Ruby’s super phenomenal power whatever power she
has and can manipulate people or something. Lure them, I guess. It’s
weird. How’d she get it and… I don’t think it was revealed to the
readers either. I can’t. I don’t like Imaginary Girls! NO! SO
disappointed though the author is really good, creative but somehow
something still missing that wasn’t I expected. Yeah, it was creepy that
wants you to crawl back under your bed kind of mystery/thrill/horror…
But really, it wasn’t what I thought the book was. It’s not the book for
me with this I don’t even know riddles, hidden messages. The whole
story is just—confusing it got me headache already.
Ruby, she is the kind of elder sister that I don’t want to listen to,
not all the time. She’s pretty rude. One thing, I like about her will
probably be taking care of Chloe. But I guess she does it differently
and for me, it’s so terrifying clueless of what she wants and it’s so
disturbing, in my opinion, of them both. Chloe worshipping her sister
goddess like Ruby is the only living person revolving around her space
and time. She’s loyal as if she has no mind of her own that makes
decisions herself. It’s always Ruby she’s listening to and her advices
and warnings. Precautions about boys, just about maybe every thing and
stuffs.
I actually thought that maybe to answer Ruby’s ‘power’ is because
she’s a siren. Who would have thought? Yep, that’s a wild guess that’s
all. Possible though. Or she is a ghost like London. Who knows. And I noticed that when Chloe does something or about to do or did
something, Ruby will potentially always be on her head like Ruby’s the
mastermind and like Ruby has given her the list precautions of
everything she’s about to do right then.
From my understanding though i still have no idea what’s the book
talking about, is that at the end of the book, what Ruby did to Owen
when he was London happened to Chloe with Ruby taking the keys to her
car and let Ruby handled the driving. And maybe before they even get to
town, Chloe was one of them like London and Ruby and Olive.
That’s all I would say, my opinions—sucks I had read this book. SO
not the book I had imagined it would be. Bad for my taste. 1 star.
