I sobbed with this book, which was a new experience for me.

recommend.

2.25?

weird and creepy and rape-friendly

no.

3.5 maybe?
took me so long :'
I liked a lot of the lines and stories in there but wasn't intrigued enough really.
liked “the stranger” much more than this one. but this was ok I think.

I liked this!the drama, the mysteryat some point (after that site which Simon used to write in was exposed) I thought this might be the case.I've read “Give a Boy a Gun” before and I liked it, this was in a different way, and you know, from different perspectives. but I still feel bad about Simon.I liked how TJ and Addy didn't end up together; I wanted them to, but this was realistic and I'm proud of Addy in general. I liked the character development. :)I hated Jake from the start; or I guess it's better to say: from the “wear something more cute” scene.I liked reading about Cooper and his relationship with his dad.“Pop loves cooperstown. He loves when I strike out the side and get attention from flashy scouts, and when my name scrolls across the bottom of ESPN. But me? He doesn't even know me.”Bronwyn's fair of disappointing her parents. Cooper's fair of how his dad will react and how his younger brother will feel after he comes out.Nate :) how he was abandoned and how he was taking care of himself. his life with all the drug-dealing and hook-ups with girls. how he lied about his mother being dead. how he felt she's gonna leave again.Jake was one of the scariest characters I guess. and that so-called-friend of Addy! writing things on her locker and making her fall and hurt herself. how Jake (probably) threw condoms on Cooper.I don't really know how I feel about Bronwyn and Nate's romance. I just know I kinda liked it and I wasn't the happiest when Nate went to juvenile and also when he decided to end things between them. but I still don't know how compatible those two were. I hope they'll be happy. :]oh and I loved the short hair, the bike, the new attitude of Addy!of course I liked Maeve and Ashton. and Addy's mother made me feel bad. about her life and her thoughts and all the women thinking like her. and how they make their daughters feel bad about themselves.people! the attention towards Cooper and Nate after the news from girls and how they were fan girling for these two. how they enjoy things like it's a tv show and forget these four are real teenagers.I don't like the fact that it seemed like Cooper didn't cheat on his girlfriend. just because you're gay doesn't mean you can cheat on someone and that's ok. :
