I enjoyed this book, but I am not really sure I cared for the ending. I am not sure what I expected, but after enjoying the story of all the characters, I was not really blown away by the resolution.
The two main ways I can describe this book:
1. This is The Silver Linings Playbook if it was written about teenagers and high school.

This is a modern coming of age story for sure, with all the things teens have to face...drugs, abortion, sexual identity, bullying, etc. I liked the format and I thought the author did a good job with the characterization of the MC. I didn't feel it was comparable to The Catcher in the Rye, as it is being compared, but it was an interesting read that I think will stay with me for awhile.
