I thought it was awesome the way even though Celia wore these shields, she was really very vulnerable and confused. She didn't want to face up to the fact that her parents were divorcing. She didn't want to face the fact that deep down she really did care what people thought about her. Oh yeah and did I mention this book has MEAN GIRLS!! I love mean girls... well not really, but I love it when books have them in there.
I adored all the poems in the book. I feel like modern poetry is not something that many teens are exposed to and also that when you read published poems they either seem unattainable or silly. Celia shows us that anyone can write a poem and it can be beautiful. But not just poems, I think it shows people to look for that creative outlet for their feelings and how that can be therapeutic.
The only thing I didn't love was the big secret from middle school that Celia was keeping. I thought it was going to be something really HUGE, but it wasn't. But I was ok with that. It was the journey to getting to that secret that I loved.
Overall: I highly recommend. If you like unique characters like Ruby from The Boyfriend List, you'll love Celia!! It's an awesome book about bullying, dealing with life, and above all friendship.
