In this fast-paced adventure set in Mexico, teen celebrity Vivian Divine goes on the run after receiving a death threat, and discovers that everything she thought she knew about her charmed life—and the boy she loves—is a lie.
Vivian Divine is Dead is
a quick pace and interesting story and despite actually having a very serious
and sad undertone, it was also a very fun and different kind of story!
Vivian Divine has lived her entire life in the public eye.
Her father is a famous director, and her mom, before she was murdered was a
famous actress. Since her mom died, Vivian really only has her boyfriend and
her bodyguard to keep her company. But then her boyfriend cheats on her with
her best friend and she is sent death threats. Her bodyguard sends her to Mexico to keep
her safe.
Once is Mexico ,
her bag with her money and passport are stolen but she gets help from Nicholas.
Vivian and Nick hate each other at first, but he helps her anyway. I enjoyed
watching their hate grow into something special. Nick was an interesting
character. You never really know if you could trust him or not. He definitely
wasn't perfect. Vivian seems like she is just a Hollywood
princess, but she is so much more than that. She is just a normal teenager who
has lost her mother is a horrifying way and just wants the love and attention
from her father, who basically ignores her. I felt so bad for her. She really
was just trying to survive.
I love the way this book was written. The descriptions were
so vivid and I loved reading about rural Mexico and it's culture. We saw
good and bad parts of Mexico ,
and met a wide variety of people, some good, some bad. I really had no clue how
this story was going to end, and it really did keep me guessing. The way it
ended makes me think there will be a second book, and I am very excited to read
it!
