You heard the story on the news. A girl and a boy went into the woods. The girl carried a picnic basket. The boy wore bright yellow running shoes. The girl found her way out, but the boy never did... Everyone thinks they know what happened. Some say Tabby pushed him off that cliff -- she didn't even like hiking. She was jealous. She had more than her share of demons. Others think he fell…
Usually, you only hear one side of the story: that it was a tragic accident which could have been easily avoided. But in this mystery, you get to see the story in every possible way. A searing look at gender roles that is loaded with barded zingers on unfair expectations from the way that society judges teenage girls, with a secret that leaves you to draw your own conclusions. All Eyes on Her is a well-paced thriller with sharp psychological features. In the end, what side of the story would you believe?
