The author says in the beginning that this is based on her diary and that is how it read.  It was more telling what happened after the fact, then letting the readers live it with her. Also, there were too many typos and errors, for such a short book, it would not have been hard to edit it better.A few reviewers said the the story was not realistic and unbelievable, unfortunately that is not the case.  I have a few friends who lived exactly like this when they were in middle school..parting, drinking, and sex.  This is what happens when kids have no parental supervision, they put themselves in adult situations that, as kids,  they are not mature enough to handle.  I wish that the idea of a 13 year old's mother not knowing that she was out until 2AM, or that she was having a boy over every day, was ridiculous and unbelievable, but I know parents who have done that and much worse. It's sad, but it happens every day.
