If You Only Knew (The Friendship Ring Book 1)

The description reads, “Can she share her true feelings without risking her friendships?” The Kindle version (I don’t know about the other versions) does not even come close to answering the question, but instead, it leaves the reader hanging in nowhere land. Granted, it’s part of a series, but I would have expected each book to have its own kind of resolution. More troublesome to me was the message it portrayed. I found the too casual approach to bullying to be disconcerting. In fact, because the novel just left me hanging, I felt it emphasized the notion that victims of bullying were the ones to blame.

I read this when I was younger and I loved the different perspectives. While this isn't my favorite character, I loved all the friendship ring series and how each girl saw things in different ways. It had an actual realistic feel too it, while not being too heavy.I lost the paperbacks so I rebought it for nostalgic sake. I've waited for the author to continue the series but spoiler alert: she never does. I still really loved these books though.

If You Only Knew was a awesome book! I loved it so much. The way Zoe told the story was amazing. Rachel Vail is a excellent author. I have read 2 more of this series and they have been good too but this is still the best one! If you want a real, awesome book then you should read this.

"If You Only Knew" is the best book I have ever read. I can relate to Zoe (the main character), because I can get along with everybody, and I have dealt with becoming best friends with someone who already had one. She deals with things real preteen girls have to deal with: friends, family, and boys. I couldn't have read a better book!

on reading this book you would seriously have the feeling that you are actually reading a secret diary of a 12yr old. anybody from age 10-14yrs can relate to zoe's character of being tomboyish and feeling clumsy & unpretty at some stage or the other.this is a must read for all the teenage crowd who have less than sqeaky clean lives.rachel vail is the best!

this book is great!! Zoe wants CJ to be her best friend and when they finally are.......Zoe finds out who CJ likes...... dont wanna spoil it for you! Just buy it and you'll find out what happens!

This book is the first in the series, and also the best. The writing is nothing but the best, and incredibly realistic. A million thumbs up to Rachel Vail.
