This book was about a 13 year old girl named Samantha who has an alcoholic father. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this book. I didn't want to be depressed. However, I found her pen-pal writing with a stranger in the High school library intriguing and funny. I was hoping more was going to come with her neighbor next door (Charlie) because I am always a hopeful romantic. In the end I did like this book and stop to wonder what secret lives people have behind close doors. We just never know what someone else might be going through!
