Intense, brilliant and utterly real...
This is a gripping coming of age/emotional healing story about a teenage girl living through the often strange and cruel world of school. I picked it up in the bookstore, started to leaf through and found myself hooked into the story. The narrator and main character of this book tells in powerful detail what its like to be an outcast . . . and to have a painful secret that's destroying you from the inside out. I don't read many books outside the fantasy/sf genre, but this is a book I would highly recommend whatever genre you may normally read. It's a look at the high school world that young people can identify with. It is not a sweet or happy story, instead it's a powerful mosaic of light and shadow that takes hold of you and doesn't easily let go. Find it, read it and treasure it!
Happy Reading! ^_^ Shanshad
