It is rare that a book makes me laugh out loud, but this book did just that. Even though this book covers some serious subject matters, it is written well and twists and turns with just enough quirky situations to keep the reader guessing and turning pages. The main characters too are quirky and interesting and banter back and forth with just the right amount of angst, wit and humour. "Betsy's life is going down the drain: dumped by her boyfriend, betrayed by her best friend, shamed by the

Betsy learns to be independent,strong and proud of who she is, while learning to like people for who they are rather than popularity. Some very strong ideas in this book, not the least being that everyone has a secret, which of course will leave you unable to p
