It's a very good to hold unless you like contemprorary :) enjoy
This is probably the most overrated YA book of all time, right after the Twilight series. The thing is, it has just as much literary value. If I want to read a book about some kid ~growing up~ and writing bad poetry to his crushes, I can read my own diary circa 7th grade.
I think a lot of this book is cute. It really is. I get a bit more bored now reading it than I did when I was a high school aged kid, but I suppose that's more to do with me than the book itself.
