Now all Vanessa wants to do is hang out with her new boyfriend, instead of with Lina. On top of that, Lina and Vanessa's parents seemed to be getting along better than they thought, and now Lina is left all by herself. Will Lina be able to deal with the loss of her mother, father, and best friend? And what about her crush? 


My Reaction: This book is pretty good. It really deals with problems teens face. Like sometimes you feel like everyone is leaving you out, or no one understands. But eventually you can overcome these problems. The only thing is that it deals with Mexican stuff, and since I'm not Mexican I got a little confused, but over all a good book.


My Rating: 7/10
