I've read this book many times. I thought it was well written and she had a talent for writing. It's too bad she never knew that. I could relate to this young girl as she never really fit in--even in her own family. It must of been devastating to her poarents to read her diary and realized that she wanted to confide in them but they wouldn't listen. I hope this book makes people think twice about giving people drugs without their knowledge. I felt so sorry for her. She never had a chance!
