I Hadn't Meant to Tell You This

I ordered this book because I somehow ended up with the sequel to it first. I really like this author and the story was a good one but sad. You should make sure you get both. I passed them on to a friend of mine with a teen daughter. It is a Young Adult book, and I love reading those sometimes.

A horribly beautiful book. Racism, friendship, loneliness, fierce love, abuse, life. Very well written. A great, yet terrible book.

I loved this book growing up. It was given to me by my grandma. I had lost it through years of moving, and had forgotten the name of it. I searched for the title using characters and a brief description of what it was about. Finally found the title, and immediately searched for it here. For only a penny plus shipping!! I was thrilled! The book arrived in no time, and in pretty good shape. I am happy to be able to reread a childhood book again.

Much needed poignant novel that addresses the topic of sexual abuse. It is essential that sensitive, intelligent books on this topic are available for kids. Woodson tells a beautiful story of middle school friendship and depicts the trauma of abuse with integrity. A courageous and ground breaking book.

great story! It is amazing how we connect with each other. This story is about following your heart.

very good book, easy to read, its a sad story but i think it kept the attention of a lot of my teen girls

I had to read this book for my Children's Literature class. It was great! Interesting role reversal for a change.

bought for daughter she enjoyed it
