Everything you want me to be by Mindy Mejia, everything you want me to be is about a seventeen-year-old Hattie Hoffman who is playing several roles in her life, especially her love life “get off the stage, sweetheart’ she said. You can’t live your life acting for other people.

Other people will just use you up. You have to know yourself and figure out what you want. I can't-do that for you. Nobody can’” (Mejia 7). She ends up dying and the police are looking for clues to solve her violent murder. The investigators go through a lot of trouble to find the killer while they reveal a connection between Hattie and themselves. The author placed the scenes in an amazing way. She used words that we use nowadays and made it easy to understand who was speaking. Although I did not like the profanity in each chapter it gives a stronger mood which helps me understand how the character is feeling. The characterization was amazingly done, at the end of the book I felt like I knew those characters for years like they were family and they were telling me about their thoughts. The plot structure was very obvious and straightforward, I could easily point out the climax and resolution.” See that?’ I pointed to the line separating the colors. “that’s liver mortis. When the blood stops pumping it gets all sucked down by gravity and pools at the lowest spots.’” (Mejia 11) The theme was new to me and I really enjoyed it. I don’t personally have any connections with this book but the world definitely does, girls fall in love easily and it’s very difficult to get out of it. This book is completely new to me; I’ve read many books but none like this one. This particular book has a different mindset and it shows real-world problems. I definitely would recommend this book if you like an investigative and mini-thriller that leaves you wondering.
