This book is very...well it's not nothing, it's like eating something vaguely nutritious but it's drenched in a little too much oil so you feel it coming out your pores. I understand why it got it's cutesy cover. I think it could've gone ten times harder and been ten times more poignant, but as it stands, it's nice but a little empty. 

And the end was rushed! God, I can't stand a rushed end, like please take your time and say something rather than writing something flimsy and nothing for the sake of it. AUGH!
