This book is like reality to me. Not one of those crappy fantasies about how there love is stronger than anything. yes I do love those but realistic is so much better. I could take this better than a sappy crappy never will be romance.

I read this book in Jr. high and I still remember it it's all told in poems and I'm not that into poetry but it was deep and told an intense story that stuck with me. Highly recommend it.

This book was "just ok" for me until about half way through and then it picked up with some unforseen turns and kept my attention for the next hundred pages or so. I think that the author did a good job of addressing many different issues throughout the novel and wrapped them up convincingly in the end, leaving no loose ends. The fact that the book was written in verse kind of threw me off at first, but soon I got into the groove of it and enjoyed it quite a bit...though it does make More...

This is how I fear my verse novel will appear - just kind of, eh.

I enjoyed this novel in verse despite the unbelievability of this girl enduring those 3 successive crises so close together in time. Ok, divorce is, alas, a common crisis for a child to go through, but the other two? (I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it.) It's the combination of the three... Nevertheless, I could empathize with her feelings, and her voice felt genuine. Recommended.

This book moved a little slowly for me. I was trying to read it a little at a time but I could never get into it. Finally I just sat down and started reading determined to get a big chunk done. And that's wheni finally got into the story.
