I laughed and I cried........

You may not actually know who Rhona Cameron is but even if this is the case this is a definate read for anyone who felt a bit different when growing up. Some of the early memories provoked by this autobiography made me laugh and some down right uncomfortable - I'd never let my parents know some of the things I got up to at 13!! I laughed out loud so many times and had to read the book in one sitting as I just couldn't put it down!! By the end I had tears streaming down my face and was left glad that I had been allowed the opportunity to see into Rhona's early life. For many this book will make you realise that in so many ways you weren't alone with what you went through as a teenager!
