"Should it be chosen because of the ultimate message which is important? Will teens like it? I had trouble with how she made excuses for the men in her life, especially "Prince Charming.""
"I enjoyed this book. The first night that I purchased it I stayed up late to read 11 chapters. I was fascinated by the authors story about the poor choices that lead to her HIV positive status and the road to how she got there. I also enjoyed learning what life is like for someone who is living and loving while positive. Now, with that said, I did, however, find myself being upset with her. Although she was positive she continued to make poor choices (the girl was having more sex HIV positive than me); the same types of choices that lead to her positive status in the first place. One thing she made clear in the book is that she struggled with insecurity and although I know what that can do to a person, I still found myself a little miffed with her. I also did not like the way the book ended. After saying over and over again that she learned her lesson, then proving that she had not, the book ends with her miraculously being cured of all her emotional ills and finally learning her lesson. I would have liked it more if the book had ended with her continuing to struggle with self acceptance and self love. Nevertheless, it was a good read and I recommend it."
