Book rating- I would rate this book a 5, because the book it relates to the normal things that teenagers go through when it comes to them doing things that they don’t want their parents to know about. The book also connects to the relationship of a family that is going through a lot of things that might or might not impact the family. The book finds away to just connect with each part of a person’s life.
