I will admit the ending was surprising, but I found it creepy and strange too! What to read next: I was so disappointed in this because all along it seemed like Katie was a real person in the school! In the end, the popular girl, Katie, ended up being all in Emmie’s imagination! It’s like the cliche ending of “it was all a dream.” It turns out that Emmie sketched Katie and imagined her saying everything that Emmie couldn’t say. I found the ending super creepy! I’m going to spoil it here, so if you want to read the book, stop reading now. She experienced every emotion possible, from jealousy to anger and loneliness. However, I don’t think that Emmie’s position in the school would change so much in just one day. It is a good comparison between a shy, quiet girl and the outgoing popular girl. I really liked this book, until the ending. This is the story of two totally different girls-quiet, shy, artistic Emmie and popular, outgoing, athletic Katie-and how their lives unexpectedly intersect one day when an embarrassing note falls into the wrong hands.
