I read the book Accomplice by Eireann Corrigan. This book was a realistic fiction and the copy right date was 2012. This book was a bout a girl and her friend creating a fake kidnapping to get into a better college. Tn this story two girls are intent on getting into a good school. They figure that the only way to do this is to drw attention to themselves. THey end up staging on of the friend'skidnapping. The overall theme was deception.

The point of view was from Finn, one of the firends. The girls fake a kidnapping, but something goes terribley wrong and they charge an inncocent person with murder. Finn origanally thinks it was a mistake, but realizes a couple years later that her friend, "the victim" of the kidnapping, actually st himup. I think that the intended audience is mainly teenagers. This book's genre is probably realistic factio becaue it's a stiuation that really could happen, but it didn't. The author provides many sensory details, but she sometimes gets caught up in them and drags the story out.

This book shocked me that people would go this far just to get a good education in college. Although intresting, this book is a bit to extreme to be real so I didnt really change my personal view poit on the siuation. This book isn't actually like any other book that I've read becuase the subject  matter is very unique.

This book was generally pretty good, but at the end it was a bit rushed. I would definately recommend this to anybody looking for an exciting book.
