I have to admit, I put off writing this review because I really couldn't get a handle on my feelings about this book. Then I realized that I had just read a book that made me FEEL.  That's a good thing.  I still don't know if I am feeling "poor Meg" or if I want to smack her, but that's ok too.  This book will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. I think one of the reasons it resonates so well is because most of us who are reading this are females, and we can relate.  We have either been there... as Meg, or maybe one of her friends, or even her Aunt.  Or we now have our own kids that we hope we can keep safe from boys like Aiden.  The writing is vivid and the characters are super real. Life isn't all sweetness and light (as much as we'd like it to be), but Meg makes it through, and comes out stronger.
