13. Wintergirls

A masterpiece by Laurie Halse Anderson. I lovelovelove Speak and I found Wintergirls to be similar to it. They both featured female narrators who were suffering. Both narrators had trouble with what they were going through. In Wintergirls, I particularly liked Lia's voice. She lied to both herself and the reader and the lies were clearly visible by the thoughts she had that were crossed out. I liked the ending - hopeful, uplifting, but not exceedingly happy.
