Summary: without rain, there would be no rainbows
Comment: this novel may never win a literary award, but it helped save my life. i was 14 when i came across this personal & engaging story and i had already been hospitalized once myself for attmepted suicide. finally, i found a character i could truly relate with. someone who was neither perfect nor completely screwed up. she seemed to be a "normal" teenager with some problems coping just like i was. this book did not promise me a rose garden, nor did it make me feel sentenced to a life of insanity. rather, i felt a respected connection. it acknowledged the adult pressures of an adolescent, did not talk down to me, pander to me, or seem terribly unrealistic.

~it gave me hope~

though it has been over a decade since this book came into my life, i still credit it with being a shaping influence on the woman i am now.

Summary: Superbly real and enigmatic.
Comment: Eventhough I read this book for the first time when I was sixteen years old, I still feel as if I could read it over and over again, and would never tire of it. Its subjects are real and dealt with in a way that everyday people may relate to. It was the starting point for my own literary adveture that gave me an apetite for heart-warming and heart-breaking books.
