Opinion:
Why did you like or dislike the book?
I liked the book a lot. It was extremely realistic and can relate to the experiences that any teenager is going through: growing up, friendship, and finding love. Also, the book had a nice balance between touching drama and humor. The author wrote in a way that really kept me captivated the whole time.
Who would you recommend this book to?
I would recommend this book to pre-teen and teenage girls. This story is mainly about how each of the four friends change from teenager to woman which is what every girl has to go through. I would also recommend this book to those who enjoy romance and lots of drama (basically any girl then.) I think this book contains all of the components that appeal to teenage girls.
