There wasn't really much to this book. I see it as a very real "slice of life" story, and for me, that's important. There are a few moments where the main character thinks some deep thoughts, but overall, the story isn't deep, emotional, touching, or exciting in any way. It really just *is*. And honestly, that's fine too. I hope it finds its way into the hands of YA audiences who may better connect with the narrator.
