I read this when it first came out, but just re-read it in anticipation of booktalking it to middle schoolers in January. There's a bit of language and some uncomfortable situations like the dad's drinking and the mom's addiction to anti-depressants, but I'm hoping that the teens can overlook that part and just enjoy the story.

Rhonda died five years before and This crazy girl mocked her after that she had her social security and license. EVERYTHING! then did the same to Jazz. Then after Sunny (Main character) and her parents found out, her parents let her go! Crazy, i would of locked her up ASAP! Sunny assumed the girl had set the fire after her boyfriend left her
*Some SPOILERS* This wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't particularly good either. At first, I found myself empathizing with the main character quite a lot, and the basic premise was very interesting. I liked the idea of someone showing up as a dead relative, and how a family would deal with that intrusion into their lives - as blessing or impetus for total meltdown. However, I felt that it wasn't all that believable - who would go along with this for so long? and the end was far too abrupt. There
Honey, this book is the reason why i still read today.
