Great book
Great book! Author gave his characters depth, with a great understanding of high school culture.
Just amazing
One of the best books I've read. This one will go in the top 5 of my favorites list.
The story of two friends, bound by their "afflictions". Chris Crutcher gives a depth to his teenaged characters missing in most young adult novels. Thought provoking.
Ok
Never mind it was ok
