This story is important and impactful. The writing was simple, but strong, though it did tell more than show. I found almost all the character's annoying or a bit much, and would usually know a star off for it, but somehow, I think it still deserves the stars, because I can maybe understand why they were presented that way. While the story was complex, it did wrap up too nicely, which I don't believe is a true reflection of reality. At times I felt there was too much going on, and not enough detail to buy in to some parts. Overall, it tells an important story that is timely.

Great book for high schoolers to read. Lots of important and topical subjects. Would certainly generate a lot of discussions.
