Summary: Deanna Lambert has a reputation, and it's not a good one. Deanna wants a different life where she's not defined by her past, a life where her father talks to her again, and her best friend notices her as more than a friend. When Deanna gets a job at a derelict pizza joint she encounters Tommy, the reason for her reputation. Can she resist him this time or will she live up her reputation?
Review: It's hard to say I enjoyed this book because reading her story was difficult at times, and I felt like I was peeking in on private family affairs. Deanna's story felt like it could happen in any high school, anywhere. Deanna is a girl that made a mistake, and she is living with the consequences three years later. How many people have made a mistake that has haunted them? This story is one of pain and hope.
Bottom Line: If you are a fan of realistic fiction and stories of teens overcoming life situations, you might want to give Story of a Girl a try.
