Notes for Parents edit see section history

I would say it's and apropiate book for 9-12 year olds because theres not that much bad things in the book. Or maybe a young adult it all matters about the parents. Some bad stuff is just like shaving her legs, and going to a co-ed party and playing spin the bottle.
