I really shouldn't have read this as a not young adult. Very teen. I had higher expectations considering how popular this book was. I do think it got better toward the end.

ahopper7's review against another edition

I think I’m just too old for this book’s demographic. I loved the movie, but I couldn’t get past the main character’s flaws or that icky scene with her teacher.
