A teen in middle random person. He or she is a total stranger that she writes to about school named Samantha puts all of her trust in one everything that has been happening. The stranger has been helping her out with everything happening in her life at the time. She waits and hopes that they write back giving her some helpful advice. She tells the advice giver about her father and his big drinking problem. When her drunken father does something unbelievable that puts the whole family on its edge, she knew something must be done. None of the family ever talks at all about the situation to anyone, she doesn’t even tell her three best friends. She doesn’t want to hurt or have her family fall apart. No one would. It is an amazing book. Natasha writes it as if that could be a girl at your school. She makes it feel so real. ( )

I really did enjoy reading this book, it really grabbed my attention. It was an amazing plot that told about a girl who was dealing with her father's drinking problem. Which is an incident that could happen to any teenage girl. I really like how the author tied together the main characters problem as a teenager and the main character's problems with her dad. ( )

i love this book because i think it capture the concept of being a teenager in that kind of perdicament. i strongly think that all teenage girls should read books like this one by natasha friend because they have a message that girls need to know to grow and become confident strong women.
