I bought this book because I loved the cover, and I enjoy reading books written as journals. However, this is no ordinary journal-book. Although the beginning is slow, the excitement I got later on made up for it.

Jana is a senior in high school and thinks her problems are solved when she's the newest Miss Popular. However, she realizes that popularity isn't everything and soon ditches her new friends for her old ones, Annette and Sally. She also becomes friends with Brian, a college guy who is making up some credits at Jana's high school, and who helps with one of her classes.

Mr. B, a mentor of Jana's, invites her to come to the Center, where children, teens, and adults who make their living on the streets come for help. Jana sees a whole different world and soon comes there frequently. Then gang happenings occur, and her life is changed completely. You won't want to put this down.

Jana's journal is not what you will expect. When you start reading think about your own life. Have you ever felt like she does, or what would you do if you were her. This book taught me a lot about myself. I was dissipointed when the story ended. I wanted to keep reading. I loved this book.
