not a good book, there is some content not meant for readers about under the age of 11.older kids know what i mean. the story line was very hard to follow.not a contender.
This was not one of the greatest book that i’ve read before. I liked the setting, but the rest was not very good. There was not very much character developement. Everything seemed to be changing except for the character. I didn’t understand the plot. Maybe someone older would have liked it better. i think it is for older middle school and high school girls.
