This book is amazing, i was really into it, and the girl is my age! I could read books like this ALL the time, i also thought it was the most touching story i have ever read, at parts it made me cry, they were so sad, and when i think that it actually happened to a girl, well it just hurts to hear it. But overall it was fantastic, and one of the best books i have EVER read,

I read this book shortly after it was published in 1994. It has stayed with me all these years later.I often wonder how her friends and family are doing without her.This book changed me forever,I hope that Nancy knows that pouring her heart out in this book did change someone's life.God Bless You

This book is about a girl who meets a guy at a concert. They get close, and then he rapes her. She gets Aids and her life is torn apart. I have never read a book like this before, because one its a true person's diary, and two because I didn't know as much as I thought about aids. Everyone should read it because it tells you the truth about aids.

This is the best book! It made me cry. It deals with rape really well.. someone very close to me was raped and it helped understand somethigns a little better and maybe see things from their point of veiw a little better. And I'm a lot more careful around guys now. This story realyl affected my life.
