Convince us to read the book: This book really reminds you how hard it was back in middle school and makes you thank God that you’re finished and done with it. At times the book was a bit too young age-wise and overdramatic but it really portrayed well how it was when you're thirteen years old and trying to fit in, and learning that the world is cruel.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The most compelling aspect of the book was Merideth herself, and her trouble and pain she went through because of the loss of her best friend. It was intriguing to see this much depth for a 13 year old (not saying that they’re not, but it was refreshing to read about this.
Cover: The cover did tempt me to pick up the book (which reflected the contents). It was girly but melodramatic.
