First of all--I would like to ask who was the professional that reviewed this book for this website? Her brother didn't almost die of liver failure--did they even read the book?
This book is a touching realistic account of a girl, Callie, who has family problems. Problems that many teenagers have today that cause her to hurt herself. Her path in finding the source of her problems and fears takes us on an poignant journey through the psyche of the teenage mind. I am sure that most readers know someone or know of someone like the girls Callie befriends in the hospital. McCormick captures the social and personal traits of each girl so beautifully, I feel as though they are my friends. I truly enjoyed this book and although I am not a teen, but an adult, this book has affected me deeply.
