I read this in high school, and I really enjoyed it. However, I really don't remember much about it. I would really like to take the time to re-read it (and several other classics I read in high school).

I remember reading it in high school, as well, Jacey. However, I remember disliking it, so I've been putting off the re-read! I keep telling myself to open my mind, but sometimes those teen memories do a number!
