Short Review:

I really should have gotten around to reading this sooner. It's from 2001 for goddess sake!

I connected to the MC, Melinda. I hated high school and had to deal with being one of the not so popular kids, and i felt like i could've written some of this myself!

There is some major triggers in this book thou, i didn't know about it in advance, so i was taken by surprise a little bit.

Overall, a good quick read :)

p122 "Think about live, or hate, or joy, or rage - whatever makes you feel something, makes your palms sweat or your toes curl. Focus on that feeling. When people don't express themselves, they die one piece at a time. You'd be shocked at how many adults are really dead inside - walking through their days with no idea who they are, just waiting for a heart attach or cancer or Mack truck to come along and finish the job. It's the saddest thing I know. " -- How truly it describe
