This is a book about a teenage girl living in West London that goes through all of the same stuff many young teenage girls go through. She worries about whether her friends are her friends, how she looks, that she doesn't have any idea what she wants to do with her future, boys, essentially the same things most teenage girls fret over. She has a couple of great friends but goes through many things in the book that cause her to doubt herself and lose confidence in herself. She eventually seems to get it together, though, and realizes things aren't so bad and everything is going to be okay. It's a perfect book for girl who are between the ages of 11-16 but was a bit youngish for my taste. I read a lot of young adult books, but this one just seemed geared to a younger audience than "young adult"...there's nothing wrong with that at all, and it IS a cute book...just not what I usually go for. I will, however, recommend it to my 2 younger daughters.
