Customer Reviews

One of my favorite books as a teenager

I loaned this book to a friend when I was young and never got it back. I may have to buy it again just for nostalgia. It was a wonderful coming-of-age read, a la the infamous Forever, by Judy Blume.

Ragin' book

This book was really good! The title might detour some people but it really captures what it's like to be a teenager and how it seems like your parents are totally against you on some things but they mean well. I would give it a 5 out of 5 even though some parts could be better written. Pick this one up at your library! It's worth your time!
