The Nature of Jade is a YABA book at my school so if I read it I get extra credit on an English test. I think I might check it out. Thanks. :D

That book is amazing!
And it was weird reading it because my name is Jade. Haha, that's the whole reason I read it.
But I loved it. Deb Caletti is awesome.

Even if the voices aren't real, they have pretty good ideas.

Writing isn't an excuse for insanity. It's a reason.
