It was such a beautiful and moving story. I honestly didn't know what to expect since I bought the book the moment I saw it and it was on sale. I loved it much more than the Catcher in the Rye. Maybe because it was more relate-able than CITR. I'm not sure, but it was beautiful.

Wow, what a roller coaster of a book. I have never seen the movie, so I cannot compare the two.
This book deals with some pretty mature topics including a teen suicide, drug and alcohol use and even sexual abuse. Based on that I would caution any parent from having a child read it if they aren't willing to have some serious discussions with their child about these adult topics.

What a great book. It was such a different read but I truly liked it. The narrator and the characters were all believable and I felt for them.
