Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-02 00:00:00 Audrey Bonin I read a lot of "kids with problems" books when I was in junior high. Some were decent, some were awful, but most fell into the "mediocre" category--I didn't hate them, but I most certainly didn't like them and often found myself wondering why I had ever picked them up. This was one of those books. Looking back now, I can't even remember what I ever found remotely intriguing about it, but something in the description caught my attention, I guess. I remember the story fairly well, which is surprising because not much actually happens. The characters are flat, the plot is predictable, and while this is clearly meant to be an emotionally evocative book, I felt nothing stronger than a mild annoyance at some of the characters' stupidity.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-04-14 00:00:00 Erib Gilio I really enjoyed this book. Honey is a really relatable character who is just starting to grow up and try to figure things out. I loved all of the different relationships shown in this story. That's what really grounded it for me. Honey and her brother, Honey and Christmas, Honey and her parents, Christmas and her mother, Honey's brother and their parents, etc...all of these had different dynamics and served as foils to each other. For me, it was the differences and similarities in the layers of these relationships that have the story depth. For me, this wasn't an "issues" book, and that was a nice, refreshing change.
