If I got to be God for one day, I’d like to say I’d end world hunger and create world peace. But I wouldn’t. Because if God could fix the big stuff, he’d have done it already.
Malin knows she can’t fix the big stuff in her life. Instead she watches from the sidelines, as her dad yells, her brother lies and her mum falls apart. At least after she meets Hanna she has a friend to help her. Because being Malin is complicated – learning how to kiss, what to wear to prom, and what to do when you upset the prettiest, meanest girl in school.
It’s tough fitting in when you’re different. But what if it’s the world that’s weird, not you?
A beautiful, funny and honest coming-of-age story that never pretends life is perfect.

It’s set in Finland and in the form of a diary. It’s about a girl called Malin and how she deals with home and school. The book doesn’t really have a genre but the author has written a book that all teenagers can relate to. It’s the best one I have read so far.

This is a book about Malin, a girl who sees things differently. her family is falling apart and she has no friends. Then she meets Hanna, whilst shoplifting! I thought this book was OK, but complicated.

It is AMAZING!!!!! Highly recommend. It wasn’t your normal story, it doesn’t have cliffhangers or suspense, but you still don’t want to stop reading.

I liked this book a lot , it was somehow different to other books. It wasn’t written in a different lay-out, it was just… different! I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it to anyone who likes a story of revenge and secrets.
