I don't recommend this book for young readers, 18 and up most definitely.  Why you may ask?  It deals with life in ways that most young people have not yet experienced.  Some though experience what Willow Cross has experienced in her life at a very young age as she has.I read her story, and bawled.  It hit home in more ways than I care to speak of, finding what I felt, feel and have gone through on these pages.  Wondering how anyone, especially a person you've never met in person can know your story, your feelings, pain.  That you are a people pleaser always wanting to make everyone happy. To be accepted no matter what the cost, what you have to do... Oh Lord, yea this hit home for me.Then reading her rules... You, think "yea I can do that" then roll your eyes and think "yea right, not in this life time."Wanting to be loved, accepted by everyone, "the in group, "  the cool kids"  and omg yes.. The cute boys.  Then you want the men to want you as you grow older.  Do what you have to do what you think they want, say what you feel they want to hear.  Only to be moved aside for whatever reason, then blaming yourself.If you don't want anything out or get anything else out of Willow Cross' "Getting Over It" but a good read, you won' be disappointed. Though don't be surprised when you get so much more.  Don't be surprised if you find yourself, your story or the story of someone that you know....Thank You Willow for telling your story... For being "naked" and "raw"
