"WHAt really hard things are happening in the text?"

In the book "Aries Rising" there is this girl named Logan. She has two bestfriends named Chili and PAige. Logan is a unpopular girl who nobody in the skool really pays attention to. Logan really wants this Kid named Nathan(he is the most popular and cutest boy in the school) to pay attention to her and also she really wanted toget into this summer camp for writers but she knew that Mr.Frankenstein (Mr.Franklin) wasnt gonna give her a good recommendation.
Logan finds this book in her fathers things and the book is called Fearless Astrology. Supposedly this book is supposed to transform your life. Logan uses this book to get what she wanted, NAthan and the good recommendation. SHe uses astrology to try to figure out deeper into Mr.Frankenstein and NAthan. She finds out that NAthan is a Leo and Mr.Frankenstein is a Taurus. She uses the characteristics in this book to help soften up NAthan Mr.frankenstein and a whole bunch of other people. LIttle by little Logan began being known as "Astrogirl". At the beginning of the book Logan was this loser who nobody cared about and know everybody is all she ever talks about.
The social issue in this book is popularity. Now everybody in her school wants her to do birth charts to finnd out more about their sign and stuff. But before they wouldn't even say hi. All this reminds me of how people i general like to take the easy way out of thingsor they cheat in order to do or get somewhere in life. INstead of Logan solving her own problems with her own mind she uses some book to do the work for her. So basically thanks to that book she got where she is now. There was a moment in the book where everything was falling apart. Nothing was going as planned for her. Logan felt insecure about her decisions and didnt know what to do. The only reason she felt that way was because of the book. The book couldn't help her in that situation. SHe felt useless. BUt then everything went abck to normal thanks to the book again. There are some people in life now a days who either have someone or something solve their problems or they just dont solve them at all. THanks to that book she became known in her school, she became popular.
