Review

Ever wish you were somebody else? This story takes place in the future and you can have your old painful memories erased, then new ones implanted. "Rose" has done this. She doesn't remember doing it or why. She's a high school student who was withdrawn and now she is outgoing and friendly to all. It's not suppose to happen, but some of her old self is coming back. Her Daddies when she was little and she is being raised by her step mother. Rose resents her step mother for surviving. Her step mom has been trying to reach Rose even before her Dad married her. There is also friend trouble with popular girls Vs. nice girls drama. This is a great coming of age story.

I gave it ages/grades 4- 12 because 4-6 is lumped together; really it's a 6th through 12th grade level.

Overall Book Score: very good
