Dear Nobody the true diary of Mary Rose 
Where to even start this book is about a teenage girl and her thoughts and experience's . there not all happy and bright but they are real and heart breaking . as someone who had dealt with addiction it messes you up and becomes a security blanket . I would totally recommend this book but with that said there's good and bad to this book .....

Good :
-Amazing prospective into an addicts mind
- motivation to stay strong and get better
- a true understanding to what goes on in life when dealing with a life changing illness .
- And so much more i cant put into words

Bad :
- contains mentions of drugs death and sexual abuse and maybe triggering to some 


BUT over all this book was amazing and the ending made me cry mary rose was brave and sarcastic and did what she could do with the cards she was delt . being rised in certain environments could not have been easy . i know for a fact growing up with an illness is not easy . 

(Dear Anybody,
While life is hard
Play your best card 
You can do this
You never know what you may miss
Love is rough
Make sure you stay tough 
The fight is long
Stay strong 
You will get there this )
(^^my person poem after reading the book ) 

[Dear Nobody ,
I only fuck with the ones i love... 
So why cant i love everyone ?
Everyone seems to love me...
Because they're always trying to fuck w/ me]

Read during a car ride. It was very good and insightful into another person's life. If you want to read something to understand what someone else faces it's a great book!

Wow. This is one of those stories that will stay with me for much longer than the time it took for me to read it. I don't want to call this a "true story" as it is more a "true storytelling" as it is a series of diary entries as told by a teenager struggling with addiction, a horrible family situation, and cystic fibrosis. What sticks with me even more is that Mary Rose was a couple of months younger than me. What would life had been like if she lived to be my age? Would she have become an author? Would she repeat the cycle of bad decisions? Would she still be a dreamer, looking for love in all the wrong places? Unfortunately, we will never know, but we can live with her thoughts knowing that when we feel alone, others out there do as well.

The words and drawings of Mary Rose present a gritty, powerful, no-holds-barred true experience of a teen girl so desperate to be loved, so eager to fit in that she'll go to extremes that could cost her her life. This compelling, emotional account ensures her voice will not be forgotten.
