Social Issue Relevance The social issue in this book is peer pressure. Audrey dealt with a lot of pressure from everyone around her to do the right things or else it might end up leaking out. Peer pressure could be anything, from skipping class to shoplifting. However it can be good, too. Someone in your class might give you tips on how to remember the information better. Some people give in to peer pressure because they want to fit in, or be liked. Others give in because they are curious, to try something new that other people have been doing. You can also walk away from it, but at times that can be difficult to do. It usually helps if you have one other friend that says no too. Peer pressure is an important topic, and throughout the book Audrey was around peer pressure whenever there was a chance.

About the Reader My name is Gabby Howell and I’m a freshmen at Gahanna Lincoln High School. I am 14 years old, and born on April 23, 1997. I live with my mom, dad, my brother Alex who is 17 and also goes to Lincoln, and my yorkie-poo Skylar. In my free time I like to ski, hang out with family and friends, and read. I have been skiing for about 5 years now, and have gone to New York and Pennsylvania. Two summers ago I went to Europe with my family, including London, England, Belgium, Paris, Austria, and Germany. And in 7th grade over spring break, we went to Hawaii for two weeks. I love anything to do with animals and the ocean, so when I get older my dream job would be a marine biologist. My favorite quote is: “Dance as though no one is watching you Love as though you have never been hurt before Sing as though no one can hear you Live as though heaven is on earth” -Souza
