I first read this book when I was in Fourth Grade, and just finished re-reading it. Of course, when I first read it, I didn't fully understand what was happening, nor did I completely understand what Annabel was going through. Now, having read it a second time, and being more mature, say that this book is good for 12 year olds, if they are mature. I, for one, am a mature thirteen year old so it wasn't a big deal for me. But parents should decide based on how mature their child is before allowing them to read it.

This book is deep and seriously great.If you ever want a book that's dramatic, funny, and definitely sad, this is the one for you. I would absolutely reccomend it to a friend. The messages are great, and Whitney's overcoming of her eating disorder shows that anything is possible, as well as Annabel's admission during the trial of Will Cash. Owen is a great support system and shows that sometimes great friends come in weird packages. I would not reccomend this to younger kids however, because it definitely is a little iffy for a younger age. I did put a highlight as educational because I think it educates children on bad decisions and other things they might need to know for high school.

I usually am not much of a reader but for some reason i bought this book. When i started reading it, i just couldn't stop! I read it in one weekend, which is pretty amazing for me! It is a really great book I would recommend it to all girls around 16-25. It is sooo good!

I think that the book was really interesting,it can help teens decide how to deal with their conflicts without using violence. And show what happens when you hang out with the wrong people.

Very good book, one of the authors best.

I love this book because it gives some good messages to think about.

Loved this book, although the beginning is quite sad. but all of Sarah Dessens Books are about a person being knocked down and then growing to their full potential again.

Sarah Dessen tell you aboutfamily,love and life. And it includes music.....Which everybody loves...This books reminds me how it feels to be different but similar....unusual..
