Another nostalgia book to read before going to a better home.

Tackles some really tough situations. Would probably be good for young teens just starting secondary school.

The characters can be annoying but all teens can be. I love how the characters learn throughout the novel, and this one wasn't heavy-handed like a couple of the other ones are.

I did want to see where it was going to go, and I pretty much read it in 1 sitting too.

It was a really good book, mostly about being who you want to be and not what other people want you to be. I think it's a really good book.

This book is not what you would expect it to be but way better. I really enjoyed it especially when the tense moments came up, it just took me a while to get into it!

A light and funny read that didn’t take a lot of concentration to read as it was easy to follow. However I don’t think that the blurb/ synopsis really explained the story too well and didn’t find that it really related to the story but still a really good book overall 😊

This book all about the flaws of a teenager like peer pressure, boys, friends and school. Gabby's life is a rollar-coaster. With her best friend Angie, they rule the world, however, when Si (the boy who Angie likes) kisses Gabby, her life turns into trouble. She loses a best friend, get bullied by the Gems, loses the boy, her brothers just get weirder, her Mum and Dad fight, her mum having a baby, the pimples and all the stuff a teenager goes through. I throughly enjoyed this book, and I recommend it to 12-16 year old girls, who are going through this phase in their life.
