I definitely liked Solo a lot better than this book. “Blah” is just the only way that I can describe it. There was no plot to speak of, Swing is super weird and strange, and I didn’t care about the relationship that this entire book builds up. I didn’t care about the story at all and I didn’t even really enjoy it until the last 30 pages or so when something finally happened.

A GREAT read! An awesome book to get into the hands of young readers to educate them! Easy read for struggling readers, as free verse allows for a quick and encouraging read. Would truly recommend this book to anyone

While the end begins to complicate the narrative somewhat, the vast majority of this book is terribly boring. A boy has a crush on a girl but won't tell her. For something like 300 pages. And that's about it. Characters fit pretty neatly into teen romcom tropes--the hobbledehoy lead, his quirky best friend, the perfect girl, the selfish jock she dates--and things go pretty much as smoothly as possible without so much as the smallest wave until the very end where a tsunami comes out of nowhere to destroy everything. I think that's the point, but it doesn't necessarily make for a compelling read.
