    I looked at the cover and that, "Oh, fiction, yay!" But when I opened it and started reading, I realized that it was a biograpy. It was still good though. But I liked how she didn't care what other people thought about her. She just kept following her dream. But, it was just a little to "girly" for me. I give it *** stars.
