I have been craving for this book like forever and am extremely excited to finally get a chance to read it. I became immersed in the story I ended up finishing the book in less than a day. It is the kind of book I can really relate to—both mentally and emotionally.

Deanna is one of those characters I would never forget. She has her own issues to deal with just like everybody else. The worst thing is everyone thinks she’s a slut and calls her names she cannot even bear to hear. Her dad hasn’t talked to her ever since he caught her in the backseat of a car with a guy. Yeah, she was too young to have sex, and it was probably the biggest mistake she’d made. But does it mean her life is over because the whole town humiliates her? This is a story about recognition, forgiveness, and transition between forgetting the past and learning from it.

I LOVE this book! Mrs. Zarr has created such an exquisite atmosphere I put myself to indulge in every single page of the book. Story of a Girl is definitely a tearjerker I’ll always remember.
