Story of a Girl is a brief, fast-paced book; it's right around two hundred pages, depending on your edition. Deanna Lambert tells us her story in first person, using the casual tone of our best high-school friend. Reading this novel is much like snooping in a girl's diary and learning her deepest, darkest secrets—which means not only is it juicy, but you shouldn't have to hit the dictionary either.
