BOOK INFORMATION:
It’s not easy being Claire. (Really.)Claire’s life is a joke…but she’s not laughing. While her friends seem to be leaping forward, she’s dancing in the same place. The mean girls at school are living up to their mean name, and there’s a boy, Ryder, who’s just as bad, if not worse. And at home, nobody’s really listening to her—if anything, they seem to be more in on the joke than she is.
Then into all of this (not-very-funny-to-Claire) comedy comes something intense and tragic—while her dad is talking to her at the kitchen table, he falls over with a medical emergency. Suddenly the joke has become very serious—and the only way Claire, her family, and her friends are going to get through it is if they can find a way to make it funny again.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK
Another disappointing read for me. I feel like books have really disappointed me lately.
I thought the storyline was a great idea. At times this was an emotional read that was very touching and other points, it was a bit over the top and dramatic. This is a book that is set in the eighth grade. We all remember what eighth grade was like. It involved mean girls, friends that are changing, liking boys, and trying to navigate a changing time in your childhood.
This story follows a girl named Claire, who is already struggling with school when her world comes tumbling down. Her father has had a stroke. This stroke ends up changing everything for her. She must learn to cope with this, figure out how to make it through high school.
I can't really say anymore without giving away the storyline. I hope you check it out. It was a fun read.
