Didn’t Like It“This book was one of the biggest letdowns in my reading history. It tricks you by being interesting and addictive at the beginning, then ending in the most terrible fashion possible.

“I don't remember it super well. I thought it was a bit of a strange portrayal of a troubled girl. ”

Yes | No“Good book--love books about 'growing up' but didn't really need all of the details I got in parts of this book. I was rooting for the main character and felt a bit let down by the ending--but did enjoy the read and flew through this one pretty quickly. ”

Yes | No“I'm a little biased when it comes to this book, simply because the author lives here in Great Falls, and this book is set in Great Falls. There was a great thrill involved in reading and recognizing locations and personality types. It's a coming-of-age story about an awkward teenager trying to maintain a sense of self amidst the meddlings of men and boys, including her often absent father and horny teenaged boys. It gets a bit graphic at times, but I felt that Fromm did a great job of accurately portraying a teenaged girl. More than once, I felt a little violated, like he knew my secret female language. ”
