I... I'm not quite sure how I feel. I read it quite quickly. I liked it, but I feel like it was missing something. It has very dark, sad subject matter, but I loved the last book I read (Love Is the Higher Law) and it had sad subject matter as well. The difference between these two books, though, is that I finished Love Is the Higher Law - and even It's Kind of a Funny Story, which is also about a suicidal teen - feeling uplifted, and I finished this feeling like I just read a good story, but emotionally deflated. I suppose that's fitting though. It's real.

Not my favorite of either author's books, but I looooved it all the same! It took a while to really get going, but once it did, it was wonderful! Also, it was nice to see some big people featured in Young Adult literature, in a way that isn't mocking, or degrading.
