15. Make up a motto that one of the characters seems to live by. How and why does this fit the character?
"Go big or go home." seems to be Crissy's mothers motto. She loves everything done perfectly and if you're not going to do it right the first time then you just shouldn't do it at all. Anne needs her house to be clean and perfect and when the T.V. crew came there was twice as much work as there was after Mark got hit by the car. Now that she came home everything is more tense.

20. I wonder why the author…
I wonder why the author made the whole interview thing. It kinda seems out of place and like its just randomly in the story. It doesn't seem like there is nothing really there with it. Shes just a normal mother that use to work away but now she is a house wife. I just wonder if there is a certain reason for it being there or if its just because it needed more length and detail.

16. Which character would you like (or not like) to be your friend? Why?
I would probably like it if Francessca was my friend. She seems like one of those people who doesn't like being in a lot of drama but some how still ends up in it, like me. We would get along very well cause we have a lot of things in common like she puts her friends and family first then everything else can wait til its time. I would probably be able to get along with how Markie was in the beginning of the book but then after the murder she turned into a wreck and I honestly don't know how I would be able to handle that.

4. What character do you like most in this book and/or what character do you like least? Why?
I really do not like Mark. I know he got hit by a car but still he's hogging all the attention from Anne (the mother). He just kind of makes me upset because I just don't feel like he's that hurt anymore and he's still acting like he's extremely hurt. This book is taking place over a month or two and he'll be sore but I just think that he's a big faker. Maybe that's what the author is trying to make it seem like but it REALLY annoys me and I just don't like Mark.

My book is about a group of people that live in New York and they are extremely rich with big houses. One night they had a party and there was a murder the same night with one of the girls that was at the party. There are many secrets and struggles about this event that are taken out through out this book.

QUESTION 1: Do you think you would read another book by this author? Why or why not?

RESPONSE 1: I really like this book so far and I think that I would like to read another book by Jane Sughrue Giberga because they are really detailed and exciting. I'm not sure what her other books are about but I think that if they are something like Friends to Die For then I would definitely enjoy them. I can barley put this book down and I can't wait til I get to the ending!

QUESTION 2: What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?

RESPONSE 2: In this book it annoys me because its really predictable. I always see what is happening next and I like surprises in books. I think that the killer with be Nicky but hopefully there will be a sudden twist and the killer will not be the person everyone thinks it is. Maybe in the end this book will surprise me.
