This book was not as good as I was expecting, but it is a true accounting of what high school can be like. I felt as though the ending was a little too neat for a story about a girl dealing with such tremendous tragedy. You feel her turmoil throughout, but I didn't get the feeling that the rest of the characters were fully developed. Each one comes close to cracking this teenager, but then practically disappears from the rest of the book.
