Kanske en bok som man uppskattat om man var yngre än mig. Tyckte aldrig riktigt att jag blev särskilt intresserad av karaktärerna, och det mesta berördes bara ytligt; har svårt för när ”problem”(t.ex självskadebeteende, att hitta sin sexualitet) nämns på ett sätt som känns lite ”bara för att”, och det har författaren en tendens att göra i den här boken. 

Jag kan inte säga särskilt mycket om representationen i boken då jag själv inte tillhör de aktuella grupperna, men vissa situationer beskrevs lite ”meh” även där kan jag tycka. 

Gillar däremot det som sagts innan, att boken utspelar sig under en enda dag! 

Summa summarum hade jag tyvärr ganska tråkigt när jag läste boken.
