The book I've started to read is "Backlash"by Sarah Darer Littman. It's about a girl named Lara Kelley, Lara started off as "Lardo" the "fat and ugly" girl that no one liked at school. She wasn't alone though, she had her best friend Bree Connors by her side, helping her through the tough times. But things start to change, Bree isn't Lara's best friend anymore. She left Lara all alone to deal with her problems herself, and it worked out just fine without Bree, Lara is now back in shape and isn't teased anymore, she even made her high school junior varsity cheerleading team. Lara finally feels like she escaped her depression, and all those deep moments in her life, but she was wrong. Lara thought everything was going fine, until she met Christian. He was a sweet guy who Lara had met online and it seemed like he liked her a lot, but she was wrong. Everything started to stumble back on Lara, she's dealing with depression & social anxiety, and a boy if writing a bunch of terrible things on her FaceBook wall, it's a lot to take for one girl. Everything is just too much for Lara to handle, no one knew she would take it that hard.
So far, I'm really liking the book. It talks about what a lot of young kids are going through, bullying. The book shows how much people go through, and how far people take it. I think when people read the book, they'll have something to relate to while reading. Everything that Lara goes through is what so many kids around the world go through, and it''s a really bad thing. The book shows that you shouldn't trust anyone you meet online, or even people that you used to be so close with, because anyone is capable of anything. The book kind of touches your heart at the same time, you feel a lot of hate towards everyone who did harm to Lara, and you feel love to everyone that supports her. I really recommend this book to anyone, because it can really make a difference and have people start thinking differently.
