Book: Now You See Her Author: James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge Year Published: 2011 Review by Lily Williams Now You See Her by James Patterson is a story about a woman, Nina, who would do anything to hide her terrifying past, and her previous identity. That includes lying to everyone. One of those secrets includes the identity of a very dangerous serial killer. So when a man is sentenced to death for crimes Nina knows he didn’t commit, she might have to sacrifice her safety and comfortable life to save him. I really like this book. There is tons of backstory and flashbacks that explain everything. It is also just a really interesting story with lots of compelling twists and turns. A person who seems good might turn out to have murdered someone. Every turn makes me want to keep reading, and I really enjoy a story that does that. The only thing I don't enjoy is how many things you have to keep track of. How many different lives a character has lived, or even how many people they have killed. It’s a lot. I would give this a 4.5/5. The amount of things I like about the story definitely overpower the cons.

Now she has her own room, and is going to a good school. Plus there's this cute boy next door. Can she learn to let him in. I would give this 4 out of 5 stars. It was so truthful, and eye opening.

The whole time all she can think is will my parents find out I skipped art class? And worst of all, the president's son may just be in love with her. I would give this 3 stars.
