Description: An elite school. Glamorous students who have fancy cars and mansions for homes (and all the haughty attitude to go with it). This is Katie O'Connor's fabulous new life since her family's recent move to Brentwood -- a perfect opportunity for a fresh start, at least in theory.
The only time she can overlook the hostility of her classmates is when they share the stage for plays. Onstage, directed by her awesome drama teacher, Tess, she has the confidence and talent that she cannot seem to muster in her everyday life. And it doesn't hurt that one of Katie's fellow actors is smart and cute and interested in her. But beneath the glossy surface, there are secrets buried deep, even in Katie's own past.
Nightmares and dark memories continue to plague Katie's consciousness, and in order to deal with the present, she needs to come to terms with the past. If only she could remember it.
Review: Circle the Soul Softly is the story of Katie O'Connor's journey to discovering her past. Ever since she can remember, Katie hasn't quite fit in. She feels awkward, and stupid, like something just isn't right with her, if she could only figure out what. As she reinvents herself at a new school in a new town, and people begin to accept her, Katie begins having flashbacks of things she long ago locked away in her memory, buried so deep even she had no idea they existed there. She slowly begins to piece together her past, realizing it is in fact much darker than anyone knew. This book is beautifully written and keeps you absorbed in the story until the very end.
Bottom Line: This book was a lot darker than I originally anticipated it to be, but I think it is a great plot line unlike anything I've read and I highly recommend it.
Rating(1-5): 5
