Girl Power, Young Love and Teen Drama. Every high school girl should read this book - Amazon Reader. I don't write for the masses. This story is not about werewolves, vampires or saving the world from an astroid. This is a story about a young girl trying to save herself. Based on a true story, this is a beautiful Young Adult-coming of age story of a 17 year old girl struggling to find love and a place to belong. Overcoming neglect and searching for a true and lasting kind of love. As humans, we want to be loved and we want to be respected and that message is so powerful in this story. One highlight of the novel is the fresh and authentic dialogue, which makes the characters come alive. Throughout the story you find yourself becoming her secret cheerleader.
