Highly recommended for all adolescent girls wherever they are.
My thanks to the nice people at Puffin for sending the book. We also have a review of [[The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen]].
If they enjoy the emotional intensity in Sarah Dessen's books, they might also enjoy the magical realism in Meg Rosoff's stupendous [[What I Was by Meg Rosoff|What I Was]]. They'll also identify with Cait in [[Lucas by Kevin Brooks]]. [[Broken Soup by Jenny Valentine]] features a girl trying to keep her family together, and is heartstoppingly good.
