Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Janet

This book, about Francesca Spinelli, follows her through her mother's depression, trying to fit in at a formerly all-boys Catholic school that has, for the first time, allowed girls to attend, and obviously, her falling in love. Yes, I know. Sounds very cliche. However, it is written so wonderfully detailed and realistically that teenagers can easily identify with her. The dialog is very realistic to language nowadays, does not lack humor, and is easily read. It is good for light reading and just something entertaining.
