Nancy doesn't have a best friend, until she meets Katie in the bathroom at school. She and Katie have something in common: they both cut themselves. At first, it's just fun -- like the drugs and alcohol and shoplifting -- and Nancy and Katie don't talk about why they do it. But soon Nancy realizes that she and Katie need cutting to get through the day. Nancy can cover the scars on her arms and legs. It's the others, the ones inside, that are becoming hard to hide.

If you are even looking at this it must mean you like books with these themes. I only read stuff like this and i fell in love with it. I even shed a tear for it. It was a great book about a troubled teen who of course gets into trouble and does drugs. Theres more than just that to it but i loved it so check it out.

I loved this book. It's the story of two girls and their descent into drug and alcohol addiction. They cut themselves to relieve some of their pain and stress. It's a great story! I recommend it to all teens.
