I haven’t done something like that in a long time. ![]() Of course, I started reading this right after I finished HoH–I needed to get my mind off the sadness and the feels for a little bit… Yep! This definitely did the trick! It’s not too big, and I read more than half of it in one sitting. Because I was interested, I checked to see if it was at my library–which it was–so I ordered it!

Despite unaccustomed strictures at school and home, she slowly realizes that she does need a break from her fast-paced Hollywood existence if she is really going to recover, and she learns to appreciate people who are genuinely nice to her, even when she isn't their meal ticket.

Her manager hatches a plan: Morgan will go incognito into a midwestern high school for a year after rehab, giving her a chance to lead a normal life, as well as launching a comeback based on the book she will write about her experience.
