Not too bad of a read. I wish there was more on the transexual (transgender? The author never made that extremely clear) character because (s)he barely had a part and yet was included in the summary. The middle was rather slow but it eventually picked up again. I always mix this up with The Perks of Being a Wallflower which is annoying, so I was confused about what happened to whom respectively at one point. So yeah. I almost wish, now that I think about it, that I hadn't bought it. My money would've been better spent on a well, better book, but oh well. I didn't absolutely hate it (*cough*THESCARLETLETTER*cough*) so yay to that.
