I really enjoyed this book. I was unsure of what to expect in the beginning. I really loved the way the author shifted the perspectives between each of the characters and between narrating. It made you think about how much people that you surround yourself with influence and put their wishes on you. It reminds you to always be yourself, and to say things you truly would like to say instead of bottling it up. The family dynamics are so interesting to read about, even to relate to in some aspects. It also shows that something could be going on right next door or someone at your school might have reasons for the things that they do.
