4.5

This is a book about what happens when you really get to know people who (you think) are very different from yourself, and the friendship that can bloom when we let our walls down and subvert our expectations. It is also the only book I have not only been able to read more than once, but at least three times. I first read it when I was in about 8th or 9th grade, and though it is not a work I would say holds significant artistic or literary merit, it is one that deeply resonated with me at that time in my life. I haven’t read it since I was a teen, so though I want to say it is a book I recommend everyone read, I cannot vouch that it would stand up to such claims under an adult’s scrutinizing view. If you are a person that enjoys reading YA, please give it a shot. It is full of heart, and full of (s)punk— pun intended.
