Twelve-year-old Autumn loves to write, and she can't wait to grow up and be a published author. She finds inspiration all around her, but especially in Cameron, the dreamy boy in her journalism class who she has a major crush on. When her older brother Hunter makes fun of one of her most personal poems—about Cameron—Autumn decides to prove that she is talented enough to become a published author. But when her essay about Hunter wins a contest, and her dream of being published is finally within reach, Autumn has to decide whether being a real writer is worth the cost of sharing her family's secrets and hurting people she loves. This touching story is sure to resonate with readers, and prove that the heart is mightier than the pen. A Margaret Ferguson Book

3 1/2 stars. I ended up liking this book better than I thought I would. The protagonist has a voice that, while realistic of a girl her age, just annoyed me and made me keep putting the book down. Once I finally got about a quarter of the way into the book, it was easier to pick up and read in larger segments. Despite my dislike of the the character's voice and how she feels she's deserving of being the best and winning everything, I do think the book has a good message about there being more to people than you see, words matter and can't be erased, and a few other life lessons that didn't feel too forced and that I didn't think this book would actually have that level of depth to it.
