It is filled with real life, true to life situations that every teen-aged girl goes through at some point in her life."~ Phyllis PomettaEditor-in-Chief, Tots to Teens Magazine"I could not put this book down as page after page was filled with turmoil through the eyes of a seventeen-year-old. There are some parts of this book that I laughed a little and cried a lot, something touched me about this book in a way that only one who has lived through some of the situations can feel.  A great story from front to back that I recommend to everyone, especially those with tween/teen age daughters. Loved this book!"~ Jennifer LeetOwner and Publisher, The Dirty T-shirt Blog
