I really wanted to like this one, mostly because of how much I've enjoyed Hopkins' other work. And, technically, there's nothing really wrong with the story, I just sort of missed her old format of prose/poetry. The others were laid out so visually and sometimes there were key phrases separated from the rest. This one followed more like an actual story and might have served better as an actual novel. All that aside, the ending from some of the characters is a bit much of a "happy ending" and too convenient. You read it the whole time waiting for the pin to drop, but you see it coming from miles away. This gave me too much time to prep for it and therefore didn't have the emotional impact it should have.

Pretty much I loved this book. It was based more on real life. I can relate to the characters feelings. The fact that you (along with the other characters) can see the ending coming from a mile away just shows real life. Everyone suspected somethin but no one did anything.
The teens in this book struggling with depression and finding themselves really hit home with me.
