Falling for You by Lisa Schroeder

2.0

Rae's stepfather is an abusive jerk who takes all of her money. Her mother is completely checked out and no help. Rae can only find solace in her friends at school, her coworkers, and possibly Nathan, a new kid who is showing romantic interest in her. Rae uses poetry to talk about her feelings. Even though poetry helps release her emotions, she still keeps much bottled up- her friends don't really even know her.

The concept was great, but there was just too much working against the main character, with no real options of resolution. Plus, I screamed at this book like I scream at talk shows on tv. I don't even know how or why the main character put up with what she did.
