I nearly didn't finish this one. I said to myself "If by the time I get off the bus this afternoon and I still don't like this book, I'm giving up".
I didn't and it was a cute, easy read in the end. It has a 'serious' theme about gay teenagers and how it's ok to be gay the actions of some not so open minded people but it's really not that serious.
The main character is quite hard to take and being that it's written in first person makes it just that little bit harder. I just wanted to tell her to shut up (which is quite funny, given one of the plot points) so many times and realise she's an idiot... eventually, after 200 pages she did.
The supporting characters were much more likeable and interesting than Chelsea and I think they're the only thing that kept me going.
