Picked this book on a whim....and I'm glad i did! I love the suspense and the pace of the story. I thought I had all the answers....but I didn't. Lol. If you want a page turner suspense/crime story that won't leave you with a book hangover, then I suggest this one. :)

Second book in the series. Quick, easy read. Snow White meets Christian Grey. Not the greatest book I've ever read but I did enjoy it and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. :)

I've seen a few reviews talking about how it's unrealistic for teachers to sacrifice so much of their personal lives the way Ms Gruwell did. I think they missed the point of the book. It's not about her. It's about the students and all they overcame. A teacher gave her students a new perspective. In turn, the students became role models to their peers, to younger generations, to people near and far. I think the book is inspiring. :)
