Personal Reaction:
This book is classic high school drama with a twist. It was an unsuspected story. The story does cover many feelings that teenagers encounter, and does feature a good ending that will help teenagers gain the confidence that they need in order to find their place in the world. This is a good book for any teen who is having difficulty fitting in and feels awkward in their own skin.
