From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up—When a new social network pops up promising to fulfill any need, 16-year-old Kaylee Dunham knows it's too good to be true. It's one thing to deliver new phones, computers, or sports equipment, but how can an anonymous site give Kaylee what she needs—a kidney for her little brother? Kaylee joins NEED to please her best and only friend, Nate, but starts to worry when NEED begins asking users to complete tasks in exchange for getting what they want. The tasks seem harmless enough at first, until a student turns up dead, and Kaylee finds out the lengths to which some people will go to get what they think they need. Charbonneau delivers a tightly paced thriller packed with enough tension to keep teens hooked until the dramatic finale. Readers will root for Kaylee as she faces down hateful classmates, a mother who doesn't trust her, and an out-of-control social network bent on turning everyone she knows into a killer. Told through the perspective of multiple students entangled in NEED, this work raises interesting questions about the real-life dangers that could arise from operating anonymously online. Well-defined conflict and plenty of action also make this a good choice for reluctant readers. VERDICT A taut mystery sure to elicit discussion.—Kimberly Ventrella, Southwest Oklahoma City Library
Review "Charbonneau delivers a tightly paced thriller packed with enough tension to keep teens hooked until the dramatic finale."—School Library Journal “Joelle Charbonneau made test-taking terrifying in her best-selling trilogy, The Testing. Now, she turns her dystopian eye towards social networks and teens’ wishes in Need.”—EW.com "A fast-paced read that teens antsy to untangle the mystery will devour...hand to teens looking for a thought-provoking, timely thriller."—Booklist "Charbonneau still has a few surprises in store to leave readers questioning their trust in (and anonymity of) the internet and the selves we expose when we think no one is watching."—Publishers Weekly

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Terrifying By Paper or Kindle This is quite a thriller, and not quite over-the-top. The heroine's story is told in the first person, while alternating chapters are told in the close third person. Kaylee is living a stress-filled life in a small town. Her little brother is gravely ill, her mother doesn't seem to be doing anything about it, and Kaylee's efforts, to date, have all been well-meant but so misguided (even illegal) that she's up to her eyeballs in trouble. When a new social website appears, and everyone in her high school signs up, she finds herself on it as a last-ditch effort to help her brother. Instead, the website, called NEED, gradually seduces the teens into doing mischief, and the mischief has consequences no one could predict. Who is behind this? Why are people dying? And how is Kaylee getting caught in the net of mayhem and murder? I found my heart pounding as I read along. There are, of course, some YA tropes, such as the inability of adults to understand anything or take control. It's all up to the teens. Overall, I thought this was a truly scary book and well worth reading.

Bristol Since her younger brother, DJ, developed a life-threatening kidney condition, Kaylee has been doing everything she could to find a compatible donor who might save him, even if it means unintentionally alienating many of her classmates and developing a reputation as a drama queen who stretches the truth in order to get what she wants. (Her mother also is quite displeased with her tactics.) Their father might be a compatible donor, except that he has moved out, and no one knows his whereabouts. When Kaylee's only friend, Nate (popular but overshadowed by his athletic older brother in their family) introduces her to a new social networking site for students in their high school, she is interested but skeptical. The site promises to fulfill a "need" of each user, as long as he or she does something for NEED in return. At first, students can get something they need, simply by signing up friends for the site, but soon, after it reaches its peak capacity, NEED begins to request tasks that end up hurting others without explanation. When it looks like NEED has targeted DJ, Kaylee's mother takes him for a visit out of town, leaving Kaylee behind. Since the police don't take Kaylee's theories about what's going on seriously, she is left to piece together the clues herself, with Nate and another classmate. When Kaylee finds herself targeted and framed, presumably to further discredit her, and yet another student's life is placed in jeopardy, she must race against time to discover who exactly created NEED, how to stop them, and if possible, still find a way to get her brother the help he needs.The novel has a lot of strengths including a mystery that must be solved by piecing together multiple narratives (all are in third person, except for Kaylee's) like a jigsaw puzzle. It also boasts a smart, moral protagonist who at the same time often has the believable impulse control of a not quite mature teenager. Kaylee's reaction to her friend who begins to want to be more is unique among teen novel girls her age and refreshing. At the same time, Kaylee is presented at least at first as a possibly unreliable narrator, which adds to the suspense. At the end, the door is left wide open for a sequel, as it's made clear that the heroine has only temporarily stopped the creators of "NEED."
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A teen chiller By Neal Reynolds The author states that this is a stand alone thriller, but the ending suggests that she could change her mind and write a sequel. I personally hope it remains a stand alone.This is suspenseful. The premise is that a new social network targets a specific school and promises members to answer their needs whatever they may be. However, those participating are then asked to perform innocent appearing tasks. Naturally, these tasks turn out not to be innocent at all.The book does have a body count. The main character narrates the story in the first person, but a number of other characters are followed in third person narration.It's fast reading and the temptation is to try to read it all in one sitting. It's definitely mystery style.This should be a real winner for teen readers. Anyway, I certainly recommend it.
