4.0

I liked the book and it has a lot of deep topics. I would like to have given it 5 stars but it had several things that I didn’t care for very much. I had a hard time getting into it at first. I think it was because the cover makes it seem like a fun, lighthearted read. Um, it’s not at all. I also didn’t like that David had a makeover which made him more dateable…even though the makeover clothes made him physically uncomfortable. I also struggle with books where the main characters are the only decent people in the whole school, or so it seems.

Overall though, it was an interesting book. I read it for book club and we had a great discussion on it.
