Reviews

Mel is a great protagonist. She is easy for a lot of kids to relate to because she's fairly smart, but is a slacker, isn't really sure what she wants to do with her life and feels under-appreciated at school and at home. She is strong and doesn't usually let people push her around. She is quite unusual and nuanced for a teen character. The story moves along at a fast pace. . . it is definitely an enjoyable read. Recommended.--Kris Rothstein CM: Canadian Review of Materials (04/26/2013)

This novel deals with the dangers of manipulative teenage relationships. Rated G, good, even great at times!--Patricia Jermey Resource Links (04/01/2013)
