Sometimes a book just comes out where you have no words to describe how it makes you feel and this is one of them. I thoroughly enjoyed every drop of emotion this author wrote about real life. Every taboo topic was hit upon and expressed in this book from Child Abuse, Bully's, Prom Night Pressure, Socialism, Peer Pressure and just down right Judgement. Oh and let's not forget about Book Abuse! HA! =)Rory didn't have the best childhood and grew to be a wonderful strong young woman who rose above abuse and bullies with the aide of some very beautiful friends. She was able to overcome all these hardships and support herself and her little brother. These friends and family absolutely deserve praise for the support and love they showered on Rory, Thax and Saige; Great job to: Mando, Rome, Clay, Denver, Rio, Mrs. Riaz, and yes finally, Ashley and Toby.I just loved Mando's hilarious commentary. I adored Rome, my heart thumped and stuttered with lust. I worshiped his heroism and family support. Yes I did get a kick out Toby's tenacity of over achievement in sports and first high school love. My heart melted for all the little innocent children portrayed in this wonderful story. I did feel sympathy for Ashley who had no support and was taken advantage of and suffered emotional and physical abuse. Most of all I am overjoyed to find out Zac found his happily ever after!Thank you Delia Steele for an emotional, hilarious, real-life read!
