[Diana · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is, as someone else said, a "nice book." Sixteen-year-old Grace is the youngest of three daughters and feels as though no one sees her clearly--that their view is always tainted by her older sisters' mistakes. She's trying to juggle the new, "cool" best friend while still remaining loyal to her longtime best friend who is now being homeschooled. This story is the slice of her life where things begin to change: she begins to let others know who she is, and at the same time is forced to re-examine the way she views others, even her sisters and best friend. Some supporting characters feel one-dimensional and at times it feels like a few too many details clutter up the story line, but Grace as a character is easy to identify with. Solid, if uncomplicated, YA.
