Just a silly, fun book. Not impressive but fun mind candy.

I think this is one of my favorite short novels. It tought me about you shouldn't try to be someone else like dying your hair, expecting your problems to be solved. It taught me that you need to love your self, not in a prideful way, but of acceptance for being you. I know i'm not funny, or fun to be around always, but i do have other talents that just take time to develop. I would deffinatly recommend this book. It made me realize i can be myself and not care. (I hope i can remember that!)

This was a really good book. It was kind of like a girl trying to figure her and her love life out, with the help of two special guys, her siter, and her best friend. It was a mormon story, but not a lot about the religion, more about the people. Talks about some of the changes that girls see in guys and the changes they find in themselves.
