It was fine. Overall I enjoyed it less as the melodrama increased. This is for a much younger audience than I expected. It's also funny how late 2000's technology really pulls me out of reality. This book came out when I was a senior in high school so the technology makes sense to me, but anyone younger than their late 20s wouldn't understand how you'd forget to charge your cellphone, or why they're using film cameras. I also don't think I would have enjoyed this as a senior in high school as the main character makes some pretty bad decisions, but I guess that's the entire plot.
