It warmed my heart and was easy to comprehend. It meant a lot to me." "It's amazing, challenging and a good read. I will read it again." = = = =Comments: = = = =This was not the most exciting book I read but I agree that it is a fresh format and novel in verse is always great for some of our reluctant readers. Deals with some believable Teen issues- friendship, being perfect, body image etc. I'd be ok with it on the list- especially if kids are connecting with it. (NOT SURE WHO MADE THIS COMMENT.
