Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
4.0

I had a hard time getting into this one at first. It felt choppy and kind of jumped forward a lot. The more I read, the more I could literally feel the emotions oozing out of this book. 
It reads very high school, and I just wanted to help her when she felt like she had no one. I love that art became her outlet, and it left me wanting to try and draw a tree.
This story, being based on the authors personal experience, makes it all the more heartbreaking.
