Not an uplifting book, but one that is true to life.
The main character has unpleasant things happen to her and now has to deal with the consequences of someone else's choice for the rest of her life.
This is a classic that teaches and entertains at the same time. There are some fun light-hearted chapters as well as the darker and sadder ones, but overall it showcases determination and survival.
