It Happened to Nancy: By an Anonymous Teenager, A True Story from Her Diary

The plott is scattered because it jumps from date to date because it's based off how she writes in her "diary" so it's hard to keep reading including how I kniw she will die! This book was important I know do I stopped at 150ish I also left a purple ribbon book mark as homage to eazy-e

I thought this was a sad book. I read reviews that this is not a real account, so I doubt I will read another book by this wtiter.

This Book teaches young girls awareness of the dangers we face as young women

I purchased this book for my 14 year old neice. I read the book before giving it to her. This book brought back many memories for me on just how tough it is to be a teenager and how you feel and think as a teen. It is written from the diary of a 14 year old that is date raped and gets AIDS. The book is very real and makes one see just how sacry the dangers are in this world not only for teens but all of us. It is a great example of how anyone can get AIDS. The book is very,very sad and at times hard to read because of the sadness. I greatly admire this girl's family for making their daughter's painful journey available to others. I hope all that read this book can learn from it as I have. I think this would please the young lady that this book is about very much. As this book shows this young lady was such a special person although I don't think she relized just how special that she was. If you are a parent you should read this book. If you are a teen you should read this book. If you are a human being you should read this book. I will never forget this book, it's message and especially the young lady that wrote about her short life in her diary.

I wish this were a fiction book, I really do. This diary of a 14 year old girl who was not only raped but left with the HIV virus is gut-wrenching. This poor girl had her life taken away from her before it really ever started. The fact that it's a true story makes it all the harder to read. I felt so bad for Nancy and was close to tears more than a few times during the course of the book. She goes from depression to happiness, trying to fight off the Virus, and sometimes even mentally convincing herself she can do it, other times she just wants to die. It's a look into the mind of a young teenage girl that has to go through something noone at any age deserves to go through. Her budding romance with a different boy her age was probably the hardest to read, as both she and I knew her talk of growing old with him and having his children, whould never happen, since some older guy decided to rape her. I feel for Nancy, and anyone else going through the same situation, this book was a real eye-opener.This book isn't just for teenage girls either, I'm a 24 year old guy and still found this book to be an excellent experience. Do yourself a favor and read this book, you'll be a better person because of it.

I bought a returned book. Nothing wrong with it, everything is intact. I'm happy with my choice/purchase.

Honestly, this book brought me to tears especially because it is based on a true story. I'm already emotional as it is so don't take my word for it. I really enjoyed this book I felt like it was worth the buy.

I think every young girl should read this book. Very informative and sad as well. My heart goes out to her family that lived through that nightmare. I'm amazed at how cheerful she stayed even while battling a disease that ravaged her so quickly.

Page turner, sad bit a good read

This diary sends home a much clearer message about HIV. Teens tune us out but will pay attention to another teens story-more relatable.
