I loved this book. I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. It's not just about the rape of a young girl; it's about the complicated relationship between a girl who's been damaged by the actions of her mother, and the mother who feels guilty about what she's done. It's amazing.

My daughter doesn't like to read, but she read this book in two sittings. She said it was funny and also sad. She loved reading about a sixteen-year-old girl who had such a tough life, but wouldn't give up.

Nominated for two American Library Association awards and voted a "Best Book for Teenagers" by the New York Public Libraries, No More Secrets follows the life of Mandy Baker, a sixteen-year-old girl trying to cope with the terrible secrets surrounding her childhood. This book will make you laugh and cry. It will also shock you.

Mandy Baker was raped twice -- once by her mother's friend, and the second time by her own family because they never allowed her to talk about her trauma. Spellbinding book; simple, horrible, sometimes funny, but always captivating. I laughed and cried.

I read it in one sitting. I didn't want to put it down until I finished it.
