What an amazing book.. I am thinking for a while now what to write and I can't find the words. How is it possible in 250 pages a young-adult novel to be so meaningful? How can a teenage girl find her way through so difficult situations? How can the simplicity of her feelings get her through so compl...
This should be required reading for parents of teenage girls. The author really does a great job of showing the angst that is the teenage girl's life at 16. It's written honestly without being over-the-top like many other YA novels. It's also a window into the lives of a family dealing with depre...
This book contains the elements of a rare jewel. Everything about it is satisfying and it made me happy and sad. It is full to the brim with tangible feelings of sorrow, hope and love that everyone can relate to. Filled with funny quirky characters, I had a fun time along with tear-filled moments. F...
I'm honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed and identified with this book.

Unfortunately, those hopes were dashed quite early on. I don't know if it was my pa...
Thomas Mackee, I think I love you.For a moment, I can't help thinking how decent he is - that there's some hope for him beyond the obnoxious image he displays. Maybe deep down he is a sensitive guy, who sees us as real people with real issues. I want to say something nice. Some kind of thanks. I sta...
It was surprising how much I enjoyed this book. It was not fast-paced, nor exciting and the first few pages had me doubting if I could come to like the author's style. The characters, however, are what made it. I very much disliked Francesca at the beginning. She chose horrible friends, was unwi...
