My life with Chris Diana Valencia

When twelve-year-old Jenny meets her new neighbor Chris, it's love at first sight. She falls hard for his wit and charm, and he can't keep his hands off her. Jenny's love for Chris inspires her to keep a diary, cataloging their tumultuous relationship as Jenny discovers that Chris might not be as perfect as she thinks. My Life with Chris alternates between Jenny's past diary entries and the present letters she writes to Chris following their breakup. What happened to Jenny, and where did their love go so disastrously wrong?This is a story of first love and heartbreak, of raw insight into the mind of an already vulnerable young girl as she enters womanhood, trying to survive a love that leads to her ultimate psychotic breakdown. It's easy to judge people as we see them today, but sometimes glimpsing their past can give us new insight into what made them who they are.
