Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers, and Tracy Badua for allowing me to read and review this book.
This book is wonderful at portraying how much pressure parents, schools, and fellow students can put on someone while in highschool. The pressure to get into good colleges and follow certain career paths, while keeping up "perfect" appearances can be detrimental to health and relationships.
It also shows what lengths some people will go to to accomplish these things, and what might happen if they do not succeed.
I would definitely recommend this book to any person who is feeling this pressure to be "perfect," to get into prestigious colleges, and/or follow a career path that does not suit you.
I would also recommend this book to any parents/guardians that push their kids to accomplish these things. Even if you do not believe you are pushing them too hard, or you believe you are just doing what is best for them. This book is a great way to see their possible perspective of these things.
