Story of a Girl Audiobook

" A really honest take on realistic fiction. Sara Zarr doesn't sugarcoat the story or characters, and it's such a great thing to be able to read a character like Deanna and feel like you already know her and her story and connect to her so solidly. Zarr's style is simple, but it works oh so incredibly well. I can't wait to read her other work! "

" I thought this was a good book, interesting enough for me to finish in one night. But you can tell by reading it that it was Sara Zarr's first book because the story seems really juvenile, especially when compared to her most recent book, How to Save a Life. Her writing has improved tremendously. Parts of this story seemed to be incomplete and rushed. Maybe the story wasn't intended to be fluid? I'm not sure I would have continued reading her books had I read this one first. I do think she's a very talented author and her ability to characterize teenagers and their emotions is spot on. "

" I already wrote a paper book report. "

" Deanna has done things that she wished she and everyone else could forget but it is not possible. She has spend the rest of her life trying to find ways to move on. The story follows the main character trying to come to terms with who she is and where she wants to go. The character is flawed in a realistic way which makes her easy to relate. A good book for anyone looking for a coming of age story. "

" Sara Zarr. What can you say? Her books are Vermeer paintings--exquisite, jewel-toned glimpses of real life, loss, and redemption. She is one of those authors where you read her books and your soul is bigger and better. "

" A realistic story about a teenage girl who feels like she doesn't belong. "

" Good book. Strong narrator's voice. Beautiful and painful lessons about choices, forgiveness, and acceptance. "

" A gritty, realistic glimpse of teenage life. Beautifully written! "

" Though the initial premise -- that a girl gets labeled forever as school slut for getting caught having sex -- rang very false for a contemporary novel, the emotions in the story were very real. Deanna and her brother are deeply portrayed. I'd recommend this to older teens. "

" I chosed this book because it seemed interesting to me because the book talks about us teen girls and i just wanted to know what happened to the teen girl.The teacher told me that i chould read this book because it would be a nice book for me to read. "

" so far i really like it.i was right i liked it "

" it was sort of sad to know what happened to her and all that she's experienced and the lack of love and support she has from her family. it was very interesting though. "

" An honest & well-written teenage novel. "

" I felt so bad for the girl in this book. The father totally ruined it for her and made her feel like she was being rejected by him! Awesome book for a summer day. "

" Tough, emotional read but handled well by the author. "

" I don't really like the ending... I wanna hear what happens between Deanna and Lee. Will things ever be OK in betwenen them? What about Deanna and Jason? Deanna and her dad? How will Darren and Stacy make it? It was a good book, but there is no sequel, and I'm left with so many questions. "

" Good teen read, learned something about how young people think at those ages. "

" I like it. It gives light to the people who have had done things about the past,things that we've done that we're not so proud of. "

" I read this book and I could'nt stop reading it.I love this book so much!I wish their was a part 2.I read the book everyday even when I finished.Buy it!Its awesome! "

" i love this book but i think the end wasnt complete.. "

" Painfully realistic--one of my all-time favorite YA titles. "

" This was a wonderful read, realistic with mature themes. I wish I had this book to read when I was in high school! "

" It was a great book. I felt like i was init & as if i felt her same feelings. Although her mistakes upset me, i would be yelling at her thoughout the book. "
