I loved the way each character had their own little story in the book, but it showed how their lives ended up interweaving in incredible ways. Each story has it's own little lesson to be taken away as well.

We start with Jena. Her story is a very important lesson for all teenage girls... in fact, for all girls of any age. Learn to love yourself in the skin you're in. This is something I even have to remind myself pretty much every day! Jena doesn't think she's pretty or worthy. She ends up learning not only to love herself, but she learns that the people we think have it all might not be as happy as they look.
Next comes Dakota. After suffering a huge loss, he's foundering and makes some pretty major mistakes. He ends up semi-banished, but learns to see things for what they really are and realizes he wants to make some changes in how he acts and treats other people.
Then we have Skye, whom everyone thinks is perfect. Underneath her glamour and the excitement of her life, she's struggling with inner demons that no one knows about. Her story truly touched me and I hope that anyone who is struggling like Skye will find someone to reach out to. Not one of us is all alone.
Finally, we get to know Owen. Living a life electronically, he is sent to a "Real Life" camp by a concerned mother. The lesson, of course, being that we should put down our phones, walk away from our computers, and experience life for real. When he finally does, he finds it to be more than he could have ever hoped for.

I think this is a great book for teens, as it covers so many prudent topics for their lives.
