A story, after all, does not only
belong to the one who is telling it. It belongs, in equal measure, to the one
who is listening.

Why you should read it
This book is brilliant. The story in "No One You Know" is really interesting, surprising and to the last page of the book you won't know, who killed Lila and what happened that day, the last day of her sister life. The book has a bit of crime fiction, psychological novel and even a bit of romance, and maybe that's why "No One You Know" is so good.
Things to look out for
The truth that we don't know everything about own family, close friends, people who we like or love. The truth that we have a lot of secret demons about which we don't have idea until something will happen.
The last word about the book
"No One You Know" isn't an easy novel; is a sad story about finding yourself and the truth about people you love. It's a story about fighing with own demons from the past. But because the story is fresh, new and interesting it won't let you stop reading until the last page and that's why it's good when you can read this book in solitude to have time to think about the story and about own life.
