The Girl She Used To BeBy David Cristofano
Grand Central Publishing, 2009. 241 pgs. Fiction
Melody Grace McCartney was six years old when she and her family witnessed a horrible murder that sent her family into the witness protection program. Twenty years later she is still in hiding and her parents have been killed. She has had so many identities given to her that she doesn't even know who she really is anymore. After growing bored in her current location, she claims to have been discovered by the Bavaro mob and once again she is whisked away to start again. But this time is different, because she really has been discovered and as she gets to know Jonathan Bavaro, the lines between good and bad start to blur.
This was a really quick read. From the very beginning I was drawn into the story and the characters. Melody was an interesting narrator and her desire for a family and security were very real. There was some swearing and adult situations but it didn't feel excessive.
