Mary i think you'll be ok! i'm 15 and i adore this book (: please just note that it deals with bullying, anxiety, and eating disorders!

libby does have an obsession with how a woman had a lot of s3x to loose weight, and libby thought stuff like "maybe i could try that, it might work for me too." but there's nothing graphic. if you do decide to read this book, i hope you enjoy it <3
Katie Yes! I would say it's appropriate to 13+ readers. There is little to no inappropriate behavior in this book.
