The books starts off about summer camp and the boy she is involved with. All of a sudden he breaks things off with her and she starts to lose her composure which leads to her taking drugs. This is when all things just start to go down hill. I think that it is interesting that she would let a boy ruin her life and drive her in a negative direction, especially since she has many other things going for her, such as her good grades, her family, her friends, and being accepted and/or wait-listed at prestigious colleges. After coming home from summer camp, she avoids spending time with her family and hides things from her best friend. All of which she never used to do. Lori does not have the guts to tell them about what really happened during summer. I think that it is disappointing to see such a well-rounded girl succumbing to taking drugs because of a boy. Also, that she would let her relationship with her family and best friend be affected due to her terrible decision. It only ruins her most important relationships, her ability to obtain an education, and her everyday basic activities.
