And where does he get off saying horrible things on her wall? Even worse - are they true?But no one realized just how far Christian's harsh comments would push Lara. Not even Bree. As online life collides with real life, the truth starts to come together and the backlash is even more devastating than anyone could have imagined.

The book connects quite well with the teen life what the gram-generation goes through. It's really important for us to understand that our life is more important than what people think abt us. It's ur thinking that matters for u to grow. And we should also be careful n think twice abt what we say to others on such platform cause we might not have a clue what that person is going through or how we might end up effecting that person.
