This is foshizz one of the best books I've ever read and I spend probably 6 hours a day reading if that tells you anything. The sexual content is there and somewhat described but not beyong the point that most young teens are aware of. The bad rolemodels are everywhere but not unrelatably. I am a 14-year-old honors student but I know an abundance of people who are like the characters. It is about the maturity and I say again, the book won't kill them. You know your child and their maturity. You could read it first or read it with them, discuss it with them, whatever. Just because the concepts involved sound terrible, it doesn't exactly make the book toxic.

hate it scary

This is the best book I have ever read, I loved it so much I'm going to read the rest of her books. Yes, it was a little inappropriate at times but it only got me thinking how much disgusting it was, especially the cutting and throwing up parts, and made me not want to even think about doing it. It was definitely a page turner and I recommend it for anyone 14 and up as I am 14 going on 15 this week and I read it a few months ago.

I personally enjoyed it. A big plot twister on the end which i got, but one of my students (grade 12) who read it did not. It is true to Ellen Hopkins’ other books which if you have read, will understand but not one of the first of hers I would recommend to someone who has never read her content. (First suggestion would be Crank) The interest between the main character and her father is somewhat disturbing but not described in Detail. And having the main character at the age of 17 I would only suggest to kids that age and older to read this book if certain content makes them uncomfortable. There is Major drug use that gets progressively worse but the experience from them is not described in detail, just the feelings and the after-effects. Sex is exchanged and bullying from other peers is instigated. Over all, I thought it was great after having read the whole thing, but parts and passages are not for the young or someone who has not read this type of book before at all.

I love her books. ive read most of her books and shes just amazing, she gives such detail not too much but enough. she shows manyy points of veiws it is jst amazing. i am always eager to read her other books. this book is so amazing at first i was confused but it is like a puzzle peices that make the big picture. at the end a big huge shocking surprise.

wayyy way too heady for our family. too serious and i dont see anything good out of it. i don't even want to read it.

most kids know everything by age 14 this book is apropiatefor for them and up

it's a very good book, if you trust your child, sometimes it gets somewhat detailed about certain situations. if your child is 14 or under i suggest the best way to find out if you child should read THIS book is to read it for yourself.

Great, fast read. Mature teens can handle.
