Taryn watched her parents murdered whilst she was still a young girl. She spent the whole summer in therapy trying to deal with what she saw and how she feels. Of course, she can't tell them what really happened, because they don't believe her. After a while, she pretends that she is okay, just so that she can go home. Her friends have always been there for her, and she is beyond thankful for them. But change is a-coming, and Taryn doesn't deal very well with change...

This is an emotion-filled book that shows the deep love that friends can have for each other, and the support that is given without question. Taryn has to face up to her past, as well as shocks in her present and an uncertain future, but throughout Aiden and Kenzie are there for her.

Very well-written, leaving you in no doubt about Taryn's feelings or state of mind. She is witty and sharp, as well as vulnerable. This is a winning combination. With a steady pace building up to the conclusion, this was a great read that I would recommend.

I think this is a fantastic film. I was sure it was just going to be a run of the mill slasher horror film but it changed completely half way through and I really wasn't expecting it. Well made, we'll acted, we'll written.

A dull film
A very slow film that feels very long. It's very predictable and does feel miscast as well. I felt like fast forwarding big chunks of the film. There are much better films of this genre out there.

British comedy that's classy and commercial -- and, most important, very, very funny.

Quality storytelling
Great film
A great film based on true events and handled well. From the same director as Deepwater Horizon. Teaming up with Mark Wahlberg again, who seems to get better with every new film he does. Check it out.

Gripping story
Friend or foe
A solid entertaining film. It has a good cast and big production values, with great attention to detail. There are some good action scenes but the tension wracks up very well towards the end.
