While I couldn’t relate to this book, the end was good. As someone who tried to remember good things are coming for the future and it’s not all scary. I think it’s mainly for younger kids, middle school. The last couple pages were really well written but overall it’s 2.5.

I can relate to the changes the character is going through as she's growing. I didn't like that much this book, i didn't find there was a climax in the story and it was lacking excitement in it, something to want you keep reading.

This book really took a turn on me. It kinda tricked my mind taking me in a different direction than how it actually ended. Wasn’t the biggest fan.

This would be a good book for a middle schooler or early high schooler. It goes through the trials and tribulations of a 15 year old and her family.
