Rating: 5/5-Amazing!
High school is rough on Chloe and her group of friends, especially one obsessed with popularity, one who's parents have too many rules, and another with boyfriend issues. When a lie pulls apart the friends and leaves Chloe lonely,friendless, and single, she needs to tie up a loose friendship and make things right.
The book focuses on teenage issues, like popularity, boyfriends, changing friendships, and backstabbers. The book also uses creative pictures for things hard to explain. The book is mainly about friendship, dating, romance, anger, betrayal, and choices, choices, choices- a topic hard for many teens who have been hurt or are being hurt by a friend. The book doesn't sugarcoat the topic, but makes a happy ending out of it, anyhow. The middle of the book has a lot of arguing, mainly started because of Mackenzie making the small problem bigger. The character's choices effect on what happens later in the story, to teach teens on the effect of their actions. It also tells teens not to overreact.
