3.9 ⭐️ Powerful message and has taught me the importance of being there for someone when they seem to be struggling. To keep my ears and arms open to anyone in need, along with the power of letting go.

Ugg! I absolutely hated everything about this book. I think it deals with an important issue, one that should be dealt with, especially for this age group. However, this book is silly, whiny, cliched, pretentious and just plain bad. I don't recommend it at all.

I feel like Melissa’s development is something that is slowly shown through-out this book and it was such a moving experience. This book was great, but I don’t think I’ll think about this book too much. Was a wonderful experience, but only a brief one.
