Story of a Girl by Sara Zarr
3.0

I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped. I liked to see Deanna grow as a character and learn from her mistakes. But, I just didn't feel like I got to know about her writing and really the purpose of this book.

She annoyed me. *SPOILER* She didn't want to be called a "slut" and so she kissed Jake, Lee's boyfriend. *SPOILER*

Her father's resentment towards her was ridiculous, I genuinely felt bad for her & her mother was just trying to hard to make everything better. I really enjoyed her relationship with her brother, Stacey & April. That made me happy but then I wasn't happy with the way her brother treated Stacey.


Friendship IS a great message in this book, though.
