I thought this book was really interesting, I couldn't figure out what the secret was, and I kept turning the pages. I really felt bad for the main character in this book. She reminded me of myself a lot. I don't want to be an actress or anything, but I feel the same way about fitting in. I wish that I had a best friend like she did. I think most people could identify with her, except she has a glamourous life, which was exciting. I'll probably read it again. Anyone who thought it was boring probably doesn't like to think a lot about life's problems.

I thought this book was really good. I love reading anything that has to do with theatre -- that's why I bought it in the first place, but I was totally unprepared for the sub plot, which actually made me cry. I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested in acting, plus anyone who's interested in stuff like hypnosis which is kind of what the subplot deals with in a weird way. I also really like the relationship between the heroine and her best friend. Stephanie, the main character, isn't like anybody I've ever met before.

The book is a very important and credible desciption of a sensitive young girl's struggle to come to grips with earlier traumas in her life. Her involvement with the theater and acting plays a central role in the story. The main character and her close friend are effecive and moving. Highly recomended and excellent writing.

A compelling story which brings one to a deeper understanding of the psychological effects of molestation. I highly recommend this book.

I choose this book after seeing it reviewed in the "New York Times." I gained a deeper understanding of a difficult topic by reading it. I highly reccomend it !

It was a bore. I fell asleep after reading one chaptar. My classmates always read the same books as I read, but this time tey chose to find their own.
