This seems to be a great read for the teens who may be going through their own family issues and this book can help them realize that they are not alone in the situation. While every one does experience everything differently, it doesnt mean it can't be a way to sympathize and connect with others. The cover is great and I think it shows what the book is about. I'm probably not going to read this one as it may be too young for my tastes with teen angst and emotions.
