i have to admit i was not vibing with this book at the start. zorie's attitude rubbed me the wrong way, but i'm really glad i kept with it because i definitely got more and more drawn in as the story went on.

i think my issue was that, as much as i don't mind a bit of miscommunication as a plot point, it got to be a bit too much (though i admit when zorie and lennon finally, actually talked about things, it was more plausible). aside from that, miscommunication between zorie and the "popular kids" also got annoying -- i felt like she was being purposefully obtuse about things that were right in front of her face.

still, this was pretty heartwarming at times, and the ending was pretty satisfying when a certain someone got their comeuppance.
