The whole book sounded like a normal high school experience with a girl who is falling for both the popular guy and the lonely misfit.... I was NOT expecting that ending though. To be honest I wish I did because it hit me hard. I kept wishing I knew beforehand or some kind of warning because it may trigger others as well.. might possibly end up a banned book one day in my opinion but then again it sounded like a 90s setting which most touchy subjects nowadays were considered common back then. Regardless, its been added to my favorites list of books.

nicole_lb's review against another edition
I got through 1/3 of this book and the lead up to the events listed on the synopsis were SO slow! The language used by the characters was hard to get through, and the writing is kinda choppy. I tried, but this is a DNF for me.
Content Warnings
Minor: Racial slurs and Sexual content
