I don't read many young adult books however, this one may be worthwhile. Being a teenager is so difficult! They are forced to deal with all of the awkward body changes. It's the time where they want independence but are not old enough to be quite so independent which makes life so frustrating with limitations and curfews. Lastly, it's also the age where they are trying to find their niche and fit in. In order to fit in, some teenagers feel they must act differently or dress differently and sometimes be someone completely different then they actually are. This seems to be the big takeaway from this book. Trying to be someone you are not in order to impress others. I would love to find out how things end up for Sunni! I hope the message is loud and clear that you should always be yourself and the people will like and accept you for who you are will be your true friends!
