Convince us to read the book: This was a great book. One reason I like it is because it let me see into the life of a teenage Jewish girl named Lauren who doesn't like being Jewish and hates the Holocaust. While juggling family problems, friend problems, and the dread of high school, Lauren Yanofsky must make a decision that could challenge her friendships.
Memorable or Forgettable: I really like the way this book was written. One reason I liked it was because it allowed me to see into the head of a Jewish teenager who hates her religion. This was good because I like seeing into other teenagers heads, so I thought this book was almost written for me.
Cover: The cover was a bit weird, but it was interesting.
