That it's not the end of the world that we can move on from it, and start a new chapter in life. Even though, our mistakes were already made and done we cannot go back and change them we can be positive and say you know what this is a lessoned learned it's time for me to move on and start a new chapter in my life. "Dear Julia, Exciting news-you won the poetry contest! Your poem was published in the Bay Times. We all want to congratulate you and wish you the best of luck at your new school. Sincerely, Mr. Britt and the South Bay Writing Club"(296) Julia afterward says "the check dropped out of the envelope. Fifty bucks. It would go straight to the back. Because I had an open invitation to Miami."(297)This shows that even from everything she did to mess her life up, she has decided to go to a new school and move cities. The impact this book has on the audience is that you should not join any gangs just to be cool or to just feel safe. Joining gangs will eventually get you hurt. I strongly believe it will have a lasting value. The viewers will learn not to join gangs and will also learn that life does go on...

The book is well written to where you can understand what you are reading but if you are someone who doesn't know slang you will have a hard time understanding some parts in the book for example “I caught sight of Eric in the middle of the brawl. He was on his feet holding his own…”(128) This book was so captivating I was so into this book it's actually the second book I finished on my own books that I read just for fun. The book has so much drama! Of course, it involves a romance between two young teens. This book has everything from sad moments to serious ones. Towards the end it becomes so intense when all the lies are revealed. I personally can’t relate to none of characters except that I do sometimes get an attitude with people but it’s only because they irritate me or do something to make me feel upset. I am not a gang member nor am I a fighter so other than that I can’t relate to any of the characters.

The greatest strength I think would have to be that the author knows how to captivate the audience and grab their attention. At all moments the book was interesting never did it become boring. I would say one of the weaknesses would be the language the way the text was written. Even though at the same time I think that's what makes the book so interesting because it's something different. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend; because this book teaches several lessons but the main ones I would say are one do not ever join a gang just to fit in or to feel safe. Second don’t always trust everyone be careful who you call your friends and especially who you tell your stuff too. Which this is something that every teen can relate too while being in high school. The last thing that you are reminded of in this book is that life goes on! ...more "
