as a young teenager I think this book really relates to most of us. It tells of many things that happen in the real world it also considered all the topics I would like to be in a book - romance, drama, real life situation-. This is also is the only book so far that has facebook as the main aspect of the whole drama. Overall I suggest people read this book its great for a person who gets easily bored when reading a book it will captivate your attenion and you would be dying to know what happens next. I hope Adele griffian makes more books like this becuase its awsome!
