Review

Shannon and Adrienne have been best friends forever but then things start changing and cliques start forming. Shannon is left out and lost without her best friend. Also, things at home aren't going well, she and her sister fight and Shannon doesn't know how to make that stop and go back to them being friends. The main theme in this books seems to be Shannon trying to find her way with her family and friends. Readers will be able to relate to situations that Shannon gets in. The story did seem to jump around a bit at times and there were a few religious references to Jesus that seemed to not fit in with the rest of the story. Still most readers will really enjoy Shannon's experiences and find them very real.

Overall Book Score: very good
