Adolescence is the word that probably sums up what this book is all about. Reading it felt like reading a journal of a teenage girl who express herself through poetry. Every pages are decorated with all sort of images but
SpoilerI was shocked with a shadowy nude photo of a girl on one of the pages. I mean, is that even appropriate for high school/middle school kids?

My heart
is coming in
for a landing.

Carrying a suitcase
packed with hope.

I stuffed it,
sat on it to snap the clasps.

And as my heart dips from the cloud high
and slowly descends,

finally taxiing to the gate,
someone will unload my suitcase.

(An except from my favorite poem in this book "Coming in for a Landing")
