    Jesus, I'd forgotten that this girl was supposed to be 13! It reads more like she is 17 or older!
    I remember when I was younger that this book made a real impact on me for some reason, has stuck with me through the years.
    Also desperately wanted a handsome guy who loved me whose kisses stuck my feet to the floor, haha.
