All I can say about the writing... haunting...but WONDERFUL! I thought ewww at the beginning it's going to be one of those kinds of teen reality melodrama but this one was different! It was one of the best reality fiction depressers that I've read!

Although it was loaded with depression and teenage drama, it's awesome and definitely unforgettable.

This book is different from many of the books I've read in the past. First off, i started off the book not really liking Parker but I slowly fell in love with everything about her near the end. The author discusses a lot of issues of teen life in this book like depression, addiction, and drinking. Her writing consumes you and you feel each one of these issues as Parker does. Amazing book!
