***Warning spoilers ahead***

Lavender, like every person, is tormented by her inner demons. She has them all numbered; thirteen, to be exact. Confident of beating them, she begins a long walk down a road marred by regrets, ghosts of her pasts, memories, and rhetorical questions. Tested, she will be; Brave and relentless—well only time can define that.

One thing remains unequivocal, she has the supports of her friends—June and Jade; also inexplicably, the attention of the school jerk, Patty.

Taking on every fear one after the other, one question is left. Will she make it to thirteen?

REVIEW

This is a lovely plot, and I will admit I was tempted to continue reading. Too bad, I have a lot of pending reviews.

I noticed a few errors, not too glaring to disrupt the flow of the book. But, a bored reader might just decide to pick fault in that and drop the book accordingly—that's every writer's nightmare. Some I noticed what's the 'your' and 'you're' and the 'she's made' and 'she made'. A quick reread and an online editor like Grammarly will help sort out those issues.

Also, I think the writer should read more books to grow more as a writer. At least, something that could get your idea on the bookshelves of people. That's not to say, I am discrediting the writer's work—not at all. I loved the book, and that's why I feel just a few more literal touches here and there will help; just to keep the standard of writing throughout the book. Not chapter one, two, three is good; chapter four is okay and chapter five is just there kind of feel

But, I must confess, I love the Memories eclipsed in the hazy fog of childhood innocence and the love falling off the truth lines.

I admired the character development in June, Jade, Patty, the parents...Not perfect, but it was surely more than good.

However, I wanted more from the Setting. The setting is the life of every novel. Your novel is no better than a piece of note without a setting. That's why I encourage the readers to work more on the setting of their stories. I wanted to see more of the house; the furniture arrangement? what kind of city do they live in? how big is the school? Something like that.

Overall, I think this is a great story if you are looking to relieve your boredom. Worse days will get this story three stars.
