Goodreads Description: Lucy just had the worst week ever. Seriously, mega bad. And suddenly, it's all too much—she wants out. Out of her house, out of her head, out of her life. She wants to be a whole new Lucy. So she does something the old Lucy would never dream of.

And now her life will never be the same. Now, how will she be able to have a boyfriend? What will she tell her friends? How will she face her family?

Now her life is completely different...every moment is a gift. Because now she might not have many moments left.





Review: I cannot put into words how much I absolutely adored this book. What starts off as a night to forget all her troubles, ends up being the night that will cause Lucy trouble and suffering for the rest of her life. This is a heartbreaking story of a young girl's struggle to come to terms with the effects that one mistake will have on the rest of her life.

My favourite part of this book was definitely the characters. Every single one of them was completely relatable, and their actions and reactions towards Lucy were so real that I felt like these were my own friends. I felt and shared Lucy's pain with her, and my heart broke for her. Lucy for me is everything that a main female character should be. She was real, strong, independent, and absolutely lovable.

This book is definitely one of the best YA books I have read, and I completely recommend it to all young women.
