bashsbooks's review against another edition

A friend recommended this book and said it was one of her favorites ever, so I really tried to get into it. But the writing style is very simple and the conflicts are kind of boring. I think maybe realistic YA fiction is not really the genre for me.

With all of these triggers it is amazingly well written. Looking at all the topics covered I'm surprised how well each was handled so my overall impression of the book was unbelievably positive and encouraging.
