If i could i would give this book 3.5 stars. It is about a teenage girl facing many problems. Her parents just recently divorced and shes switching back and forth between them, her friends dont understand her and she gets to the point where she becomes pretty depressed. She also has this nasty teacher that gets her into trouble as well. I felt like this story wove the words in better than other SAT books i've read. It was interesting and kept me engaged. I read the second half of the book straight through. Although this book is interesting and helpful, I didnt feel like I could connect with her issues. Yes, I know, this book is meant for vocab but I think that it may not appeal to some people who don't like hearing about other people's problem. I agree with the fact that sometimes we don't need to know about what's going on in the bedroom, but its a minor part of the book and not a very big deal. 12 year olds should not be reading this but high schoolers are just fine.
BEST BOOK EVER
