Life is a struggle and everyone knows that,of course sometimes we just have to cope with it and move on from the things in our past that haunt us each and every day.This book is about teenagers and teenage emotions and of course,life as we know it.The book takes place in 1999 where Matt Sanders' sister Angie finds herself struggling with her personality,sexuality,health,family and love while falling for her brother's best friend,Synyster Gates that is Brian Haner Jr. She loses herself,and in order to find yourself,you lose yourself to begin with..Possibly getting involved that is "falling in love" with a much older guy doesn't sound like a bad idea for her,since she certainly is mad. Mad and lost in the world of nothingness.
