It begins with a chance encounter: teenage Emily and her friends come to the aid of a stranger who is being bullied by a gang. Emily forgets about the incident, but the young man she helped becomes fixated on her. Only when her real love interest is attacked does she begin to understand that the stranger's interest in her has become a full-blown obsession. Every Move is a realistic but chilling look at this threatening and all-too-common form of harassment. [Fry Reading Level - 4.2]
Every Move Reviews
-
Incredibly cheesy and cliché for a topic so serious.

Oh my. I have not read a book this bad in a very long time. I tend to be a pretty optimistic reader and I absolutely hate not finishing a book. But this book forced me to go against my ways. I just couldn't get through this one.
A good story transports you into the novel. You are just placed into a new life and feel so connected with the characters and care for them. Sadly, this was not the case. All of the characters could have literally dropped dead and I would have not shed one tear. And keep in mind, I am a very sensitive person.
The plot line was so interesting, but the author did a terrible job making the reader feel connected. Also, the chemistry of the characters was so incredibly forced. One example is just the email exchange (yes, email) between the main character (cannot even remember her name) and Daniel. I literally could not stop my eyes from rolling.
And the whole story was just a bit hard to believe. The fact that the main character, whose name I have yet to place, acted so cooly for so long was just unrealistic. Call me crazy, but if I saw a guy lingering on my street staring at me (after proving again and again his creepiness) I would have more than a second thought about it.
Maybe it's unfair to give one star to a novel I never finished. However, if it made me call in quits, a person who tries to suck up any below average story until the last word, then maybe it is fair after all.
Overall, the story reminded me of a very bad Lifetime movie. The only thing left to say is that I really wish I could get my eight dollars back.
P.S. After I wrote this review, I decided to read the exciting parts towards the end because I really, really hate not finishing novels. And I will say, the last chapter was so creepy and actually made me feel something. It was an eerily great ending to a bad story.
Hm, maybe I would have liked the story better told in the stalker's point of view the whole time or alternated constantly..
P.P.S. I still want my eight dollars back. -
Emily works at a dinner and one night some boys started causing trouble with a boy named Michael. After she makes the boys leave Michael tells her he's good with computers and that he could fix the ones at the dinner. Eventually Michael gets a job at the dinner and starts sending Emily gifts and cards with her picture on them. When Emily starts getting these things, its starts getting creepy and Michael becomes obsessed with her but Emily likes a different guy, his name is Daniel and she met him at the dinner. Michael doesn't like the fact that Emily is starting to see another guy so he starts harassing her to the pint where she calls the cops. By the end of the story Michael tries to kill Daniel but it doesn't work. This is by far one of the best books I've ever read. It was so hard to put down, I just wanted to keep reading. The author did really good by making it so suspenseful. The only thing I didn't like was the ending it should have ended in a good way. I recommend everyone to read this book, especially people who are really kind because you'll never know who your really being nice too.

Twisted, crazy, and true, this novel is one that takes place on the very streets that I call home; that in itself is scary enough. The writing was okay, but the story was phenomenal; and it was real. I believe that's the reason I liked it so much; based on a true story. The power of it.
