Wow
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I just finished it, it was amazing. Doesn't stick to a couple conflicts, realistic pacing, and hell, it accually made me cry at the end. The last quote relates directly to my own life "As long as you're alive, you've got a shot at life getting better." couldn't have felt more like what I'm going through
Love, Sara--absolutely beautiful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I absolutely loved the way this book was written. Mary Beth Lundgren pieced together peices of Sara's life so beautifully. I enjoyed reading her diary to a famous artist and her IM conversations and her creative writtings. I thouroughly enjoyed the way that Lundgren usedd other author's writting styles for Sara's english assignements. And I LOVED all of the poems and quotes. I ached for Sara and her friend as they progressed into the pain of life. And I couldn't help but cry at the end....it's a must read!
Poignant and powerful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Oh, my gosh. I read this book a few days ago, and the pages are tearstained. It is such an amazing book, and EVERYONE should read it. It's unbelievably realistic--all of the book is Sara's computer entries (e-mails, journal entries, etc). Yet it still gets its point across powerfully. I was nearing the end and just HAD to write a song about its message, called "Aqua Pain Drops." It's so sad. I love this book.
please read this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
this story was told through poems, quotes, creative writing projects and journal entries. never does the author directly tell you the story. you basically rifle through this girls writing and learn her life. its not a page turner at the begining but knowing that the girls friend gets pregnant and a conflict ensues makes it worth reading. by the end, you cant stop reading for anything. the first book thats made me cry in years. you can totally relate to the girl if youve ever been through hardships like these ones, and if you havent, you can definitely sympathize. too good for words, and if i told you any of the rest of the story, id tell you the whole story, but you have to read it without a biased oppinion. this book is so much more than worth while.
