    If you have a daughter, sister, granddaughter, etc…n
    I highly recommend this book.n
    Story is very real. It could easily happen to anyone, therefore I feel every Young Adult female should read this. It tackles many problems teenage girls could go through.n
    It could help your young reader to stand up for herself or what have you.

    This is a great book of overcoming a disorder that can control your life. My teenage daughter really likes this book & I feel that the content is appropriate for her age.

    This book kept getting better and better the more I read. It suprsed me alot because just when I thought things were going to go one way, they immeditley switch direction. Though I have to say, I came across some grammatical errors in the book and maybe one word was accidentally repeated twice. But it’s nothing that you can’t figure out for yourself. I fell in love with Owen and am grateful that Sarah Dessen conjured him up. This book is definitley read-worthy.n
