This book reflects high school. If you are in high school and you read this book you are basically reading about what is going on around you. I love this book and so does everyone in my class. I am in miss McCoy's 2nd period and everyone in the class loves this book. Since we have been reading the book i always see students around school, and out of class, reading the book. When i ask them why they are reading it they say it is the best book they have ever picked up. I'm not into reading unless i have to during school, but this is a book i would read in my free time or anytime i could get the chance to pick it up and read further into the story. This book shows high schoolers what is going on around them. This isn't elementary school. We all know what sex is and what happens at parties. You can't sheild us from everything. I can't even believe someone would take a book this far. i mean the news, seriously? You people are acting like your son is going to die if he reads this. He is a teenager, let him grow up!
