All in all, if you can look past inappropriate jokes that were accepted at the time (i.e. one of the main characters being stereotyped, lots of sexual innuendos, and a biphobic comment or two), this book could be fun for someone in their early teens. But for a 20 year old who reads books that are much more advanced than this, it just didn't hit for me.

all that aside, it was an okay book; i liked the story, it was just a weird read. i suppose that makes it more accurate to the high school experience, makes it more “sincere”. i was not a fan, but i don’t regret reading it. the formatting was fun, and it was easy to get through. i do regret rereading it; it’s been a few years, and it was worse than i remembered.. this will be getting donated.
