Classification: Fiction Average student Essie just knows her life will be turned around and she'll become popular when she becomes a cheerleader . Then her aunt and uncle return to town with her cousin Micah. They are a super religious family and this fact makes Micah stand out (and not in a good way).
This book deals with the majority of teenage issues e.g first kiss, first date, crushes, popularity, the in crowd etc.
The only thing that sets this novel apart from being a carbon copy book for tweens & teens is the issue of come to terms with your religion and history. This book was ok. There are a couple of chapters that are really interesting and unique.
