 First off, I would like to say how much I love this cover. The bold colors and the picture are very vivid. The cover itself jumps out to the reader making you want to pick up this book and take a look inside. 
 Donna lost her Dad four years ago and has not quite gotten over it. Also, add in the fact that she is quiet and shy with not many friends. This book takes you on Donna's journey from teenager to a young woman. She learns about friendship, family, sex and death through the many obstacles of her life. 
 My favorite character would have to be Liz, Donna's BFF. Throughout the book, you really get the sense that Liz is so much fun to be around. The mother in me must have come out when Donna met Tim, the whole time while reading, I wanted to scream "Are you crazy?". I am so glad that Donna chose to give her heart somewhere else. As far as the relationship between Donna and her mother, I do not think there is a teenager or a mother that has not gone through these awkward teen fights. Their relationship was written in a way that I could feel for them both and also understand where they both were coming from. 
 I really enjoyed reading this book. It kind of gave me an idea of what I can look forward to with dealing with my daughter, she turns 13 this year. Also, it helped me realize that as a mother, we really need to listen and try to let our children lead their lives, even if we do not agree because in the end, they will most likely make the right decisions!
