4.0

Omg , indication of what a safe space and nurture can do to change a life. Heartbreaking how circumstances can alter someone’s life so drastically to which they don’t deserve. Ending was shocking but the very end was so sentimental. If you like perks of being a wallflower I think you may like this .

- This is the kind of book that you start off knowing that you would enjoy it. It is a very easy read, and I enjoy being able to digest through the contents fairly quickly. The book had interesting characters and the story overall was engaging. 

I like that despite the main topic being teen pregnancy and loss, Schidt also touches on issues such as bullying and discrimination faced by "troubled" kids.  

This is perfect if you're in the mood for a light cry, and would prefer a quick read.
