* I received an ebook from the author in exchange for an honest review. *This story is another winning story by Rene Schultz!  She has knocked it out of the park with this one! The story starts with Mercedes and her less than stellar self-esteem and her beautiful friends (or so they think)...Mercedes has it all but doesn't realize it until it's too late (or is it?!?!)  I love the way the author sets up the story with Mercedes and her friends going out to a club and dropping hints about everything that is "wrong" with Mercedes, when in fact there is nothing wrong with her!  I was yelling at Mercedes, crying with her, I became frustrated with her and at times wanted to reach out and smack her! I could relate to some of her feelings and felt like we as a society put way too much stress on people by wanting everyone to be perfect.  Perfection is in the eye of the beholder and I can only hope that everyone can see that they are perfect in their own way!! I love the relationships that Mercedes has with her friends and the fact that she knows what makes her happy.  I was angry by the amount of peer pressure that the author portrayed and yet it made me sit back and think and realize that the peer pressure is the same on everyone and it is a matter of how we handle it. I want to say that Mercedes didn't handle it well, but it her own way she handled it just fine.  I love that Rene has a message in each of her books and can't wait for the next book to come out!!! I am being honest when  I say that she is amazing and that I love each of her books so far, even though they are all completely different, they all come together with a moral, a life lesson and an amazing journey!! She has quickly made her way to my top ten author list and I can't wait for the next book (hopefully it will be soon!!)
