Helpful Score: 1

I like books in this genre of realistic teenage fiction. However, this one may have hit a bit too close to home for me. It's about the intense stresses of getting into college, and frankly reading it stressed me out to no end. Hearing her obsess about getting into MIT reminded me of how badly I want to go to Stanford, and I could feel at times the stress kind of bleeding over. Also, I felt that there were a lot of events in the book that were a bit over the top, drama-wise. It is still a good book, and I like this author. I just found this to be particularly intense, and not in a good way.
