I didn't think I would like this book, given the basis for what Melinda goes through over the course of her freshman year in high school. However, it is not so much about what happened to her to her as what happens afterward and how she deals with it. This is all set in the atmosphere of high school - a stressful atmosphere that most of us can relate to.

The main character is whitty and smart in spite of the horror that happened to her, the verbage Anderson uses is funny and lyrical. This is a great book that earned keeper status on my shelf.
