synopsis for this, you re probably thinking that it sounds like an After School Special, right Or like a cheesy Lifetime movie, one that will probably involve suicide, a trial, a ton of uber preachy

better than this book.The main problem with this book is that I couldn t connect to or relate to any of the characters There s Lara,who is bullied by this guy Christian on Facebook and who was really
