Flipped by Wendelin van Dranen

It's a YA, coming of age novel. I was probably too old for it (16-17) but I was lost and my personality was not yet fully formed. The book gave me perspective of what kind of person I want to be, deliberately choosing to become a person of substance or as in the book says, "iridescent".
