Choker by Elizabeth Woods

Let me start with : This is a good read! Yes it's YA, yes it was a lil' on th
e predictable side...but...
While I read this with two other friends, it seems that I was the only one that had the end figured out.  When I shared my predictions one of my fellow reader, her reaction completely threw me off and had me rethinking the plot.
Lonely, bullied girl Cara gets a visit from her childhood BFF that assists her in a manic makeover.  You know that as soon as a makeover is set up most of the problems will melt a way.  Not true with Choker.  Problems get worse, which is good.  The story gets sicker and more twisted and I loved it!
It is beyond creepy and therefore I totally enjoyed it.  It was a fast read made especially faster by the building tension. 
There were some editing flaws, I blame the editor.

Kudos to Elizabeth Woods on her debut novel.

3/5 Stars!
