Fourteen-year-old Mary is not a happy teenager, who has started to test the limits imposed by her family. The decisions she makes and risks she takes do not seem out-of-the-ordinary, but they do have devastating consequences.
Many teenage issues are highlighted in the story, from family relationships, internet safety, rape, suicide, to unwanted pregnancy.
I liked the book. Ngaire Vakaruru has written a good story about teenagers, for teenagers.
