While I enjoyed it, I think men would relate more as it's about male youth. With that aside, it was very well written and the characters you will relate to people from your own school years. Sad, joyful, ugly and beautiful.
Skippy dies and then we go back into what lead up to the tragedy. Science nerds, a sociopath bully, a girl skippy falls hard for... it's a raw novel. ...more

this book just didn't work with me at all. i listened to it, so that might be a reason for it and I have a problem with the irish accents, but overall it just didn't work.
it's a work about loss, not forgetting the past, the importance of history, longing, love, drugs, self-image...all taking place in a Irish Boarding school.
There were some good snippets here and there, but overall it just didn't gel for me. ...more
