Amy Thinks: When I got the suggestion for this story, I did a little dance in my seat. Although I had to reread before adding it, Caught in the Crowd only managed to reel me back into the drama fellow ADoR judge, rosieroo, creates. The two main characters, Astrid and Ezra, used to be best friends, until their ninth grade year when Astrid beytrayed Ezra and he left. Three years later, Ezra comes back and wants nothing to do with her, despite her best efforts to become his friend again. In Ezra's mind, since she's the Queen Bee of the school, she's changed into the type of girl he hates and she swore she would never become. Instead, he doesn't see that his preconceived view about her is wrong. Astrid is nice and makes an effort to befriend everyone, depsite if they aren't as genuine as her. There's more to the story than just the rift between the two. rosieroo's writing has the ability to pull you in and make you feel like you're watching all the drama first hand. The few bits of Aussie slang threw me the first time reading, but it doesn't deter from the story. With it being well written and the characters able to make you feel their pain, it makes this an incredibly addicting story that will make you want to read over and over again.
