Ruma Miah - 33/40

This book is about a girl called Kay Merchant. She is 14 and she is struggling to understand her changing world. Like why did her parents break up and why does her mum insist that girls can do anything? Whats wrong with her best friend Carol and why does Grahame Patterson always act like such a jerk? Eve seems to be the only one she can rely on and even she show signs of dissaparing. 

I recommend this book to people who like drama books. I rate this book a 9/10
