Once Annabel starts spending all her spare time with Owen, she realizes that she too can speak up and voice her opinion. Annabel finds that then person she was is far different from the one she becomes.


I was actually not every fond of this book. I felt like at some points it was boring and felt like it kept dragging on. I felt like the book was a little too long with not enough exciting things to keep it going. Although I wasn’t very fond of it, there was one thing I did like about this book. I did like the message that the author of the book was trying to send in the writing of this book. The author was trying to tell people its okay to speak up and its okay to have and voice an opinion. The author was also trying to send that if you speak up, someone will listen. I think that someone who needs to be more courageous and are too afraid to speak out would like this book a lot.
