Lucky Broken Girl by Ruth Behar

2.0

Please minimize your pain and suffering to make everyone around you feel better. Also, you should feel really lucky because you didn't die and only broke your leg. And even though you weren't driving your dad's car, and you're just a young girl who was in the back of your family's vehicle when it got hit by another car, everyone is mad at you because you got injured, because now they have to adjust their lives to care for you. They blame you. Like you got injured on purpose, to interrupt everyone else's life.

And you have questions, and no one wants to answer you. And you just want to be a young kid, but you're trapped in your room, and you're sad, but no one wants you to actually be sad. So, you hide your tears, and cry at night, and lie to your mom about all the tissues in your room.

Also, don't get fat.

Also, I recommend that you do not listen to the audio, because the author does not do a great job at reading her own book.
