4.5 StarsA wonderful new YA read! This book has some wonderful messages for not just teens, but everyone.  Lean on Me covers typically avoided topics such as teen pregnancy and abuse, and does it wonderfully!  I loved that it sent the message of don't give up and to always work towards your goals no matter what.  The characters are all very well written and developed and are very easy to relate to.  I absolutely LOVED Briana and enjoyed seeing her as a strong, loving, and independent person.  The story is very well written and flows well.  Candy Crum has written a wonderful story that will tug at your heart and elicit so many different emotions in the reader- heartbreak and compassion for Briana, anger at her parents and her ex, and love for Matt.  Absolutely wonderful read!~Lauren~
