When Friendship Followed Me Home by Paul Griffin

2.0

Just ok for me. . . I assumed I was going to love this one based on the book's blurb and the reviews, but this one missed the mark-- too many "issues" packed into one book and too many cliche characters (does every MG/YA book have to have a nerdy protagonist, eccentric love interest, and one token gay character?!) Readability-wise-- the first third of the book was decent, the middle third I thought about abandoning it (had enough of the Magic Box story-within-a-story), and the last was pretty dang good-- if only the whole book was as good as the last third!
