I thought it was going to be just another book about losers being bullied, but it completely exceeded my expectations. The characters weren't particularly memorable, but they made an impression on me because of their subtle flaws. The plot was pretty predictable, but I liked it anyway, because the dialogue made me angry, uncomfortable, and awkward, which is good because well-written books should provoke emotions.
