Description

Introverted and shy, 14-year-old Leah Nells has lived her life alone, with only books to keep her company. As she starts 9th grade, she finds herself lost within the complicated social universe of high school — especially when she falls in love with a boy from her class. Under pressure from her parents, her classmates, and the whole noisy world, can she become the girl she wants to be?

Review by: Amy Laine on Jan. 22, 2013 :
This book is pretty well done and a good view on the good fortunes that can happen. I particularly liked the ending:)

One of my favourites... Heartwarming, sweet and real. Also painful and also heart-breaking. Overall, it's a very dramatic book, but written-well with such skill. Leah Nells is probably one of my favourite fictional characters, beautiful yet so shy, it's unbelievable. I love it and left a mark on me.
Read it! You will not be disappointed!

An interesting book that offers a very unpopular view on shyness. I don't want to give away too much, but I really enjoyed the way the book ended. It is worth a read.
