I started this book because I'm also working in a library and the plot hits home. The story begins expectingly shallow and the characters seemed cliché, so I didn't think much more of it than a good side read. The bullying of the main character even closely made me quit because I couldn't stand it, since June couldn't even fight back, yet alone speak, for her defense one damn time. She is passive in life and the story got me extremely angry. But then there was Stanley who carrys the whole story and was my favourite character since he got introduced. 

I'm now glad I didn't quit the book, since after the first half it was getting very deep and emotional, surprisingly.
The book made me cry for various reasons.
All in all I really enjoyed that book and it's one of my favourites now! :)
