I am a 15 year old sophomore going through a very difficult and trying part of my life. I see the most addicted visions of myself, knowing that I am capable of doing something terrible like meth. This book changed and helped my life in so many ways. Woodson changed my life. I am so thankful to have writers like this that can effect who I am and help me to be a better person. Who I am can be changed at any moment and I have the power to either pull myself back up or keep going down. Laurel pulled her self back up, because she always had the power. And I have it in me too. Thank you Woodson for changing my life.
