the ending

·      How did the book end?

The book ended alright, rachel ended the relationship between her and andy. andy was mad at melinda for telling rachel what happened over the summer, so he locked her in her secret closet at school. Andy was pushing on melinda and throwing her around then she stood up and pushed him against the wall with a piece of glass against his neck and told him no. then the lacross team comes and hears them so they opened the door and seen melinda holding the glass against andy. melinda got an A for the grad.

I'm happy with the ending because melinda had overcome not speaking and she sticks up for herself in the end. 

·      What is the author’s purpose for writing the book? What is his/her message to you?
