Here's What The "Critics" Say:

"Life in the Fast Lane is an emotional and heartfelt novel that I will never forget. It's filled with astonishing, mind boggling twists that never failed to surprise you! Anyone will laugh, cry, and truly be able to feel for the amazing internal struggles in which the teenage characters go through. The book is a real wake up call to the fact that life is not perfect, and we need to make the best of the situations we are given. I would recommend Life in the Fast Lane mostly to teenage girls who want to experience the hardships that many people out there endure. This book is certainly one in which the reader will be rooting for the characters to overcome the true battles of life."
