A diary style book about a teenage girl about to graduate high school. There are dealings with insecurity about turning her (ex)boyfriend gay. She also has to find her way to get her dreams. Piper lives in small town Texas, but dreams of going to art school in New York. Things get messy with her family and friends, while trying to make those dreams come true.
I believe that this book is way more realistic than many think. Who wouldn't question themselves if their ex comes out as gay while you are dating, especially when growing up conservative in high school. My sisters and I fought much like they did and there really isn't much explanation as to why, but our relationships are much better now. Sometime boys get in the way of what we really want and our friendships. Piper learns that sometimes she has to work really hard to get what she wants, and even then it may not happen.
I really wish the book wouldn't have had a happy ending for Piper. Rarely are opportunities like the one Piper gets happen. Why are there not a lot of books that have the main character not get what they want? Everyone needs to learn to respect what they have and expand on them by working hard.
However, I am hoping that there will be a sequel. I want to know about Piper's adventures!
Thank you Chronicle Books and NetGalley for the
digital ARC of this book, which made this honest review possible.
