Inside the mind of a bully girl
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Isabella pulled me right in. Sarra Manning did a convincing job of presenting her as a bully girl on the surface but underneath are all these layers of feelings and longings. I got right away that this was the only way for Isabella to survive at school and it was convincingly put forth. Her relationship with childhood friend Dot was also explored and well developed. The real slutty bully girls Nancy and Ella were also vividly drawn. Isabella's relationship with Smith is much easier to understand than the one between Dean and Molly in "Guitar Girl". Smith fulfills Isabella's need for warmth on a physical and emotional level. The memories of her mother are also full of feeling and reality. I enjoyed this book very much and credit Manning with presenting a very difficult subject in an enthralling manner.
A story to get lost inside.

This book was amazing. I was very interested in it and couldn't put it down. The characters are developed beautifully and the story is written in such a way that you really get into the words and emotions that are emitted from them. Isabelle's story is one that could have been cliche, but wasn't. It was a story like none I've ever read, even though it seems like I would have since it is about the main character dealing with (or not really) with her Mother's death. And then there is Smith, the older guy she dates though he doesn't know she's only 16, who brings so much to the book in a unique way that made me adore his character. Great story full of emotions, I'll definitely be reading it again! I wouldn't recommend this book to those under the age of 15...but other than that- Enjoy this great read, I know I did!
Great!!!!

This book was a great read! I enjoyed it and I was pleased with the ending. I hated the way Bella's friends started treating her. The ending was perfect.
