This is a must-read for everyone, especially parents. As a mother to two young children, this novel makes me terrified for my parenting future. I have so many important life lessons to teach my son and daughter. Parenting teenagers is definitely going to be a challenge for me. It’s such an important book for both teenagers and adults to read. It discusses many current topics that young adults deal with everyday: peer pressure, relationships, friendships, cyber bullying and social media usage. As a parent to a six and an almost eight year old, this novel provides great insight for the teenage years that will be here before I know it. Very well done, Emily Giffin. I highly recommend this one.
