It's always fun when plot writes itself. At least this way I'm spared most of Susannah's usual crap.

Heteronormativity and YA - another fine example.

The protagonist is selfish and stupid. The narrator keeps derailing the subject to tell us stuff she probably should have shown. Why?

I took this from my sister's bookcase last night because I was desperate for a fiction book. To put it simply, it's a pile of crap. I tried reading this when I was twelve, and found it equally as poor. "Suze" is shallow, unsympathetic, and has just burst into a speech that completely contradicts what she just finished telling another character, and everyone else is a basic stereotype, existing purely as a role.
