This rating is particularly subjective: I struggle to truly enjoy short fiction collections. I’m much more of a novel person, because I enjoy getting sucked into a character’s perspective and world.
That being said, this collection was so much fun to read. Most of the stories explore the awkwardness and growing pains of teenage life, and the diversity of characters was really refreshing. I think there’s something for almost every reader in this collection (although many of my students would call this book “girly”).
One of my favorite aspects of this book is how many of the stories explored the complexity of adolescent friendships. Some of the stories were about friendships falling apart, and others were about friendships that were just being formed. While there were some romantic stories, I enjoyed the focus on friendship because it’s such an important part of being a teen (and being a human).
