Cute book. Fun, quick read, too. It's a 'girl power' type story. Also a story about finding out who out are and being comfortable with that. Oh. And not letting people walk all over you.
Inspirational for young girls. As does almost every contemporary YA for girls fictin it address the 'should I or shouldn't I with my boyfriend' topic. Since this is a girl empowerment book it is nice that this says that falls under the category of standing up for yourself.

Molly lives with her dad, her grandfather and her three uncles - all Irishmen with a strong sense of family. Her mother died when she was four. She plays accordion in the family bar and helps out. Otherwise she hangs out with her friend Vanessa, whose mother leaves her on her own a lot. Molly is going out with Trevor who is pressuring her to go further than she is comfortable.

SWEET...this book is all about finding out who YOU are and being proud of it....and standing strong in the face (literal face) of temptation...there were some parts that weren't quite mormon standard-ish but then she breaks off from that part of her life and gets back on track. =) it's a nice book...
You don't neeed the affections of a dog.Unless he's superbly into you you don't need him. This book teaches you that belonging to friends is better than a suckish boyfriend that doesn't evn want you for the right reason. Harder said than done I know. But it happnes.
Floofy girl read about embracing girl power and being yourself even when that feels like social suicide. Main character is a part of an Irish-American family, which might a selling point for some readers.
Decent enough. I liked Molly a lot, but the more it went on, the more melodramatic it got. I wish Vanessa hadn't been quite so one dimensional, but overall, I liked it.
it was pretty good how she found the courage to break up with her boyfriend and find the courage to be herself in front of her friend
I'll have to remember this one when my granddaughters get to be teens.
Cute, but not very deep.
Cute.
Wonderfully funny, realistic heroine finds her voice while navigating the tricky, messy world of adolescent relationships.
