I received a copy of this book from the Author for Review Purposes. This has in no way influenced my opinion of this book.
Blurry is the story of a woman who must accept life has a lot of grey, and not everything is as simple as black and white. when an estranged friend dies under strange circumstances Rachel is forced to face the possibility that her small town life might not be as perfect as she thought. The secrets that begin to crop up bring danger with them, something the unsuspecting Rachel may not be ready for.
At times, the amount of characters was overwhelming. The first time the characters are introduce I had a hard time figuring out whom was who, there were many and it was difficult to keep track of them. I wasn’t sure which character I should remember or who might be the most important. The dialogue felt a bit too formal for common teenage speech, and some scenes lacked the emotion I think teenagers would have portrayed, especially during the tense, dangerous happenings.
The mystery was on the lighter side. It is not overly complicated, either. As an adult reading it, I did find the twist a bit predictable, and I thought the ending was somewhat over-explained. As each member of the band gets pulled into the developing network of deceptions and crimes and love affairs, the novel becomes slightly confusing though. There were so many names and relationships to keep in order and a lack of visual information that even Rachel seemed quite unclear throughout.
Among this confusion though, there are moments in the narrative that are really nice and clear, where the plot and the writing come together, with opening lines like “Woodland, South Carolina was a town with a misnomer.”
Two things I had a particularly hard time with was the level of emotion. As far as the emotion went, there wasn’t enough. Rachel faces some pretty serious events in this book, things that would have people crying and on the verge of losing it completely, yet she seemed to handle it with a sense of detachment.
The best part of YA fiction is the constant emotional turmoil teens experience. Everything is life or death in their eyes. But in this book, even when Rachel actually was facing death, the emotion fell short.

Blurry is full of mystery, intrigue, secrets, lies and deceit. I love that combination. People are not always what they appear to be and Sherri definitely nailed her characters, plot and story development. Sherri's characters are so full of life, and come off a real people. Rachel was my favorite character. I can relate to her nerdy band life and see understand why she fell for Danny, our resident bad boy, once upon a time ago. I love her honesty, her integrity. She is so loyal, and I believe a lot of women can relate to a character like that. The plot was unbelievable. I like to solve mysteries ahead of time and feel like a regular Sherlock Holmes, but I was stumped with Blurry. There were too many people, too many secrets, and how lives are connected and effected kept me on the edge of my seat. This story is very much a roller coaster ride as everything you think you have figured out changes, and changes again. I was glued to the pages and couldn't flip them fast enough. Blurry is definitely a five star novel and I would recommend it for every mystery lover out there!

BLURRY by Sherri Fulmer Moorer 3.75stars
BLURRY is a novel written by Sherri Fulmer Moorer that can be classified as a murder-mystery. Most of the characters are under 18 years of age, therefore I would classify it as Young Adult, but perhaps Mature Young Adult as the storyline contains several murders. There is mystery, murder, intrigue, secrets, lies and deceit. The story centers around Woodland, South Carolina and the illegal business of street racing.
Kirsten is a young woman, in her last year of high school, but her past relationship with bad boy Danny Elkman has strained the already frazzled edges of her friendship with the girls at school. But her sudden death in a mysterious car accident will start the rumor mill running with reports of tampering, jealousy and lies. Danny’s connections to street racing gangs may have cost Kirsten her life.
Rachel is the main protagonist. And while away at a weekend Band Clinic for musicians, she meets Layne Vance, who sweeps her off her feet and promises the moon and stars. But a mysterious call to Rachel’s cell phone goes unanswered, and when the police question Rachel, she is unaware as to the nature of the call. Her phone had been missing for several days and she had no idea what had happened.
Once a life-long friend of Kirsten’s, their relationship has been strained since Kirsten started dating Rachel’s ex-Danny. And to complicate the scenario, Kirsten had been accused of seeing someone else-Jake Sonders- on the side that only added to the anger between friends. But as the young teens begin to investigate the truth behind their friend’s secret life, it becomes apparent that there is more than meets the eye.
Josh Miles has been one of the group since childhood. His secret crush on Rachel has been apparent to everyone but Rachel- herself. And when Josh begins to act mysteriously, the others begin to suspect depression or drugs. Warning Rachel off Layne puts another strain on their friendship, but when Josh discovers a connection between Danny and Rachel’s new friend, there is another death in small town South Carolina, that will once again be connected to the illegal pursuit of street racing.
Along the way, we are introduced to many of Kirsten and Rachel’s high school friends. Marielle who vehemently defends Danny: Sasha is a former cheer leader who has been relegated to color guard due to an accident: Zeke, the freshman who has the inside scoop on the police movements in town: Zeke’s brother Micah, who knows more about the investigations and the connections to illegal racing: Natalie who is Rachel’s best friend and soon to be model: and Brooks-Jake Sonders cousin. At some point throughout the storyline every character will be connected by blood, friendship, street racing or revenge.
The night of the senior prom will bring everyone together once again. But friendships have been strained and trust is no longer a fact of life. Deceit and the power of manipulation will reveal that even a life-long friendship or new love relationship is only as true, as the person involved. If a relationship has been based on lies from the start, continuing the lie will only complicate matters throughout the course of events. But everything will catch up when senior prom starts to resemble a scene from Carrie and everyone is locked into their rooms. Someone else will die, but the truth will finally be revealed, that a death during an illegal street race had a far more range of connections than any had thought possible.
BLURRY is a mystery with many potential outcomes. The writing is simple, without graphic violence or language, and although there are murders, there is no graphic detail to fuel the imagination. Like most YA storylines, the adults are conspicuously absent, but the teen’s investigative work rivals that of many cases of corporate espionage and national secrets, and in this particular scenario, I found it difficult to believe their actions. But, BLURRY is a work of fiction and was not an actual accounting. Perhaps some of the storyline is drawn from real life-like the ramifications of illegal street racing, but teens with the ability to ferret out secrets and re-wire the inner workings of an entire city’s closed circuit system, was beyond my imagination. But saying that, BLURRY does keeps the reader in suspense until the end, and that is what a mystery novel should do-believe it or not!! I have no problem recommending this novel.

Excited to leave for college, a talented musician, a top student, focused and driven...Rachel seems to have a life to envy. In her eyes, life is just as it should be. But when an estranged friend dies under strange circumstances Rachel is forced to face the possibility that her small town life might not be as perfect as she thought. The secrets that begin to crop up bring danger with them, something the unsuspecting Rachel may not be ready for.
Blurry is a story about a young woman who must come to grips with the idea that the world is not black and white as she wishes it could be. People she loves and trusts have secrets, dangerous ones.
This was a clean book, which is becoming more and more rare even in YA. There was some kissing between Rachel and Layne, but Moorer kept it at that. The language was also clean, and even thought there is some violence, Moorer didn't feel the need to go into gory detail or get carried away with twisted motives.
The mystery in Blurry was solid, with no glaring holes. The mystery was on the lighter side. It is not overly complicated, either. As an adult reading it, I did find the twist a bit predictable, and I thought the ending was somewhat over-explained, but this may not be a problem with younger readers. Even though the main characters are 17 and 18, because of the items I just mentioned, I think this book would be most appealing to the 12-13 age group.
Despite the cleanliness (which I appreciate) and the well-formed mystery, I did have a few issues with this book. I had a hard time with the dialog, which often felt formal and a bit stilted. When reading, I pictured adults speaking, not teens. The number of characters was also distracting at times. I think it would have flowed better if I could have focused on a few integral characters instead of having to keep track of so many. For young readers, this will probably be especially distracting.
Two things I had a particularly hard time with was the level of emotion and the issue of show vs. tell. As far as the emotion went, there wasn't enough. Rachel faces some pretty serious events in this book, things that would have people crying and on the verge of losing it completely, yet she seemed to handle it with a sense of detachment. I had a hard time connecting with her emotionally because of this. I wanted to see her get angry or breakdown, hate the people who were causing so much pain, but she stayed so even tempered throughout. At one point a bomb explodes and I expected her and the others to really freak out at this point. Rachel only seems a little off balanced for a few moments and then moves on. The best part of YA fiction is the constant emotional turmoil teens experience. Everything is life or death in their eyes. But in this book, even when Rachel actually was facing death, the emotion felt short.
The Show vs. Tell I mentioned contributed to this problem. Throughout the book, rather than letting me experience the story along with Rachel - letting me inside her head and emotions - Rachel instead "told" me what happened. I think this line (*Spoiler Alert*) is an example of the emotion and the show vs. tell issue. "Looking at the casket, she couldn't believe her oldest friend was dead." This is the depth of emotion shown at a funeral for one of Rachel's best friends. I am told that Rachel is shocked rather than shown through her tears, emotions, posture, internal thoughts, or even facial expressions. But where is her anger or sadness at this loss? This could have been a much more emotional moment than it was.
Overall, Blurry, is an interesting read. It is a clean, light mystery, but the lack of emotion and depth of characters made it difficult for me to get into.
Would I recommend this book? Only as a casual read.
Who would I recommend this book to? Only to young teens who won't mind the uncomplicated mystery and characters, and straightforward writing. This isn't a mystery that adults will become wrapped up in, and older teens will be looking for more emotion and deeper characters.

Blurry is a quick, easy read. The story progresses quite quickly and although it is a bit far fetched at times, it flows reasonably well.
I was reading a PDF version on my kindle that Sherri provided me in return for a review. I often find the PDF versions to be difficult to read on the kindle due to the size of the screen and how it tries to display a whole page. This wasn't too bad in Sherri's version, the text was a little bit small, but still legible.
While reading, I felt a bit like I was watching an American teen drama unfold. The girls seemed a bit shallow, the boys a bit more so, and the general feel was similar to 'Life of an American teenager' that show that aired on Foxtel here a few years back.
The exception to this would have been the main character Rachel. She was both intelligent and mature. This didn't stop her from making some silly choices, but then she's a teenager, so it is kind of expected.
This book should be considered for young adults or adults who like to read young adult books. It is one however, that should be vetted by parents first as it contains a bit of violence and murder.
The story progresses through the murder mystery quite well, with only a couple of instances that didn't really seem to gel. Being a work of fiction, the stuff that didn't quite gel can be chalked up to creative freedom. The sticking points being the police investigation and lack of evidence brought forward in the cases.
All in all, this was a reasonable book. A bit too light on for me, but not bad.
One thing I noticed:
97% (page 151) - "Next to the other one of (on) the floor."
NOTE: I receieved a copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review

Dramatic storytelling with some missed opportunities
Blurry follows the tumultuous lives of a group of high schoolers, who’ve just learned that their friend and classmate Kirsten has died in a car accident, after being pursued by cruel ex-boyfriend Danny. Though usually all members of a tight-knit high school band, the friends’ loyalties are tested and betrayal is everywhere. Caught in the middle, Rachel is the central character of the story. Extracts from the blog she writes about her ordeals are interwoven with the main narrative, giving the drama an interesting texture.
As each member of the band gets pulled into the developing network of deceptions and crimes and love affairs, the novel becomes slightly confusing though. There were so many names and relationships to keep in order and a lack of visual information that even Rachel seemed quite unclear throughout.
Among this confusion though, there are moments in the narrative that are really nice and clear, where the plot and the writing come together, with opening lines like “Woodland, South Carolina was a town with a misnomer.” The sense of foreboding and cool, collected storytelling work really well at moments like these and made me want to read on...

Blurry is the story of a woman who must accept life has a lot of grey, and not everything is as simple as black and white. Some of the main character's friends have secrets, and these secrets are dangerous.
Moorer creates an uncomplicated, well-formed mystery that flows nicely throughout Blurry and keeps the reader's attention. I think this book would be most enjoyed by a younger teenage audience (12-14).
At times, the amount of characters was overwhelming, and I had difficulty remembering everyone's name. I wasn't sure which character I should remember or who might be the most important. For younger readers, the amount of characters could be distracting. The dialogue felt a bit too formal for common teenage speech, and some scenes lacked the emotion I think teenagers would have portrayed, especially during the tense, dangerous happenings.
Blurry, is an interesting read. It is an easy, well-structured mystery. I would recommend this book to young teenagers as a casual, fun read.

This is a murder mystery like none I have ever seen. Sherri Fulmer Moorer manages to keep a secure lid on the culprit until the very end, while easily keeping the story moving at a steady pace. While I am not a fan of domestic violence, this book managed to keep me intrigued, as each time I thought I had figured out who had killed Kirsten, a new clue pushes me in a whole new direction. ‘Blurry’ is an extraordinary novel which held my interest the whole way through due to its realistic characters and dialogue. I recommend this book to those over 15 years of age who like to keep their grey matter in shape with a good old dose of ‘Whodunnit?’ Angela Lansbury has got nothing on Sherri Fulmer Moorer, and I look forward to seeking out Sherri’s other titles.
