A book that tells the symbiotic friendship between a narcissistic perverse teenager (Sarah) and another teenager clueless and fragile, in need of love and benchmarks, which does not know who she is, and has large gaps in his psychic Construction (Charlene). And the outcome of this fatal friendship. In the end, that is the executioner of that? There are no victimless executioner. ... Charlene lack too much esteem for herself and family support. She has a profile and paranoid masochist. And she's as sadistic as it does not regret his actions. This is what we can deduce.

However the psychological portrait of Charlene since childhood as the author the brush seems very wobbly and very credible from a psychiatric point of view. Several concepts are mixed without real foundation (intellectual precocity, a terrible child, tomboy, joyful and full of life, which becomes hyper shy teenager, tortured and complexed ??). This is not credible.

Still, writing is dense and pleasant, even if the style sometimes seems a bit too artificial and therefore supported.

Note that the film Mélanie Laurent inspired by the book, is only half true portraits of characters, the family environment and action.
