OK, wasn't sure I was going to like this book based on the reading the back...but I LOVED IT!!! The inner voice that Laurie Halse Anderson gives to the main characters is spot on and I would suggest that if you are female or have female children you read this book!!!!



Beautifully written! It's definitely not an uplifting book, but it shares a very important message that everyone should hear.
