Does it have romance? Just curious.
Geekess Yes, there is a bit of romance, and unfortunately, there's a bit of a love triangle. I hate it when YA writers think that's necessary.

Brilliant book, but sucky romance stuff.

Yes, I know the writer herself say that there isn't. I don't know why. Maybe she has a different definition of romance than I do. There isn't heavy romance, and not too much starry eyed moping. The love triangle very one-sided and not very intense, but the MC does have a thing for one guy while developping a thing for her previously abusive bully, so I'm calling it a love triangle.(less)
