After the death of her brother, Grace Stanley starts acting strange. She dumps her old friends, starts drinking,
starts lying to everyone, starts hanging out with the popular kids, flunking her classes, missing study sessions,
and skipping school.
But then something happens; Grace just snaps. Later, her parents confront her about missing classes and
flunking math. They tell her that this isn’t like her and that they didn’t realize that she was having so much
trouble.
She feels like she can’t talk to them because they’re always at church. But then Grace meets a girl named
Philomena. She helps Grace with everything. See what happens. Find out what makes Grace say "enough!"
Grace has a lot of feelings and you get to hear them through her point of view. I think this book was excellent. It
was thrilling and I didn’t want to put it down. I recommended it to all of my friends when I was finished; it made
you want to read more and more! I would definitely give this book 5 stars and a Gold Award!!
