This book is about a girl named Mary Rose.  She writes in her diary each day with no filter.  She explains everything about her life in detail because she thinks that no one will ever read it.  She speaks of her struggle with substance abuse, horrible boyfriends, and conflicts with family.  This story is an emotional roller-coaster and feels so real when reading it.  I found this book very hard to read.  It touched on some rough topics and pushed the edge of a published book.

This is a very mature book.  I would recommend this book for mature teens about 15 and up.  Some content will be hard for younger audiences to understand.  This book was written by a teenager so she relates to many teens going through rough situations.  Overall I really enjoyed reading this book and the realness with this book and the intensity that this book contained.
