A realistic portrayal of a teenage girl's emotions and thoughts as she navigates friendships and boyfriends. Everything is very raw and honest, much like reading the diary of a 15-year-old. For that reason, there have been challenges to this book. However, I believe this is appropriate for 8th grade and above so we are keeping it in the library, especially because Sophie ultimately makes good decisions--breaking up with boys when things get too intense or when she realizes the relationship is only based on physical attraction, and later ignoring what would be a "popular" thing to do and instead following her heart.
