The writing is beautiful, but it suffers from the lack of the girls' perspectives. I know, I know, that was the point, that the boys were just outsiders looking in. While that's interesting, I miss the inner dialogue of the girls. I feel like the writing style combined with their perspectives could've been something beautiful.
