Helpful Score: 1

Since I was 15 years old, I have always owned a copy of this book. It explores the lives of girls and young ladies in way that no other author can capture. Starting in the eyes of a toddler that knows more than you would think, and spreading out over a lifetime of drinking, drugs, sex, boys, nail polish, proms, friendship, loss, and loneliness, it infiltrates the deepest secrets and mournings of every girl. And if Francesca Block didn't actually live through each of these betrayals of life, I would be surprised, because I have, and this is exactly what they feel like. Whether you are a teenage girl with purple hair looking for someone to be your new best friend, or a grown woman who remembers a past that not many want to talk about, you'll find your own voice is somewhere in these pages and when it speaks back to you, it will make you smile with tears in your eyes and sigh. Finally... someone understands.
