Falling Apart- Jacqueline Wilson

The blurb-
'I'm sorry, but I don't want to live any longer.
Jan, I'm leaving you my blue cashmere sweater and all my books, even though they mostly belonged to you in the first place.
Louise, you can have my dimante brooch and all my make-up and any clothes you want. I'd like Carly to have my toy dog.
Goodbye.
Love from Tina.'
At fifteen, Tina decides there's no point going on. Her home life is miserable. School is just as bad. And, more than anything, how can she go on without Simon?
Falling in love shouldn't mean falling apart.

Summary-
Tina is a 15 year old girl who falls in love too fast. Since her twin brother, Tim died, her mother is always staring into space, her 18 year old sister, Louise has moved out and her other sister Jan is thinking Tina's annoying, basically life has been unlivable. . . Until she falls in love.

Rating-
I rate this book a 8/10 because it is very realistic and people in real life can relate to it.

Personally, I really enjoyed this book because there were plenty ups and downs and many people could relate to it, although, I can see why they put this is the Young Adult part of the library.

I recommend this book for people 13+
