I'm sorry, but all the run-on sentence/paragraphs without any commas or anything even drove me nutty! This book totally brought me back to 1997 considering all the music and fashion mentioned (in which I was a teenager at that time as well). It was nice that they gave you so many perspectives in this book. Sadly though, I was bored out of my mind. I was glad this was such a fast and short read. I couldn't even attach myself to the characters. I was extremely surprised to find that this book did so very well in Austrailia. The poetic pieces were wonderful in the book but I just had a hard time enjoying this. I also think that it lacked realism by making everything so happy for everyone in the end of the book. I don't think things always turn out that way considering how the characters are described throughout it. It was like everything had a quick fix suddenly.
