I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan
Although there are a lot more main characters than just two in the book I Know What You Did Last Summer, the two that stood out the most to me are Helen Rivers and Raymond Bronson. Helen Rivers was beautiful. She was the Golden Girl (or in other words, Weather Girl). Helen had brown hair with honey colored highlights, violet eyes with long, blue-black lashes, a nice body, and a good sized bust. Helen figured since her family was poor, and she wasn't the greatest in school either, that she would use her looks to get by. Raymond or Ray on the other hand was also very attractive. He was short; five-foot-eight. He was lean, and light-boned, and not very muscular. He had brown hair which hung over bright green eyes. Ray was also a very smart man. In I Know What You Did Last Summer, Julie James is accepted to Smith College, but when she gets her mail, she receives an anonymous note that has no return address marked. Julie nearly faints when she reads the seven words printed in black ink: "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER". All of a sudden, strange things started happening to Julie and her friends.

The year this story was set around was about 1990-00. At another time, she tells it from Julie's point of view, and also tells the story from Helen's point of view. They panicked, and left the boy lying there, dying. The one thing I did not like about the book I Know What You Did Last Summer was how the author Lois Duncan had written the point of views. The climax of this book is when you find out who the killer is. Duncan also expresses how deep friendship and the trust between friends can get. Man", because Julie, Ray, Barry, and Helen are all fighting against Bud (also known as Collingsworth). Duncan also reveals the power in family relationships, because Julie kept the secrets from her mother. One time, she told the story from Barry's point of view. Then, she tells the story from Ray's point of view. It was a very suspenseful and thrilling mystery novel. Helen's boyfriend, Barry Cox, was shot in the stomach. Honestly, I thought I Know What You Did Last Summer was well-written, with exceptions for the point of views. I personally think Julie would have been better off if she had of told her mom, even if her mother did nothing other than calm her of her troubles.
