    A good read

    I got my copy yesterday, and I am already finished reading. I liked this book so much that I told all of my friends. There are a lot of great messages in this book, like: confusing love with meaningless sex, true love, self esteem, depression, and abandonment. The author of this book really shined a light on all of these topics. I recommend this book to all young kids; especially young high school girls who may be going down the wrong path. Everybody get this book!

    A must read

    I ordered this book because it was recommended to me by a student. I am happy that I ordered it though, it was magnificent. This story is unbelievable. Kids do a lot of things too early in life. It's a shame that Melissa didn't have anyone in her life to guide her in the right direction. I hope that she is doing better now. I recommend this book to everyone. Parents need to try their hardest to be in their children's lives, and be positive role models.

    Check this out!

    I just ordered this book, but I can barely wait for it to get here. I am anxious to read this story. I am a social worker, so I see kids like Melissa all the time. I hope that babygirl landed on her feet.

    You have to read this book!!!

    I downloaded the ebook version from another store, and it was awesome. You never know how a person's family can screw them up, but this book is a good example. People...we must love and cherish all of our children(grandkids too). I hope that the author has found success and love. I wish her the best that this life has to offer. Keep doing your thing, want to read your next book(if there is another book?). All young people who are going through tough times should definitely buy this book. Great job!!!
