it was ok

I like to read YA books because I love some of the basic emotion, simplicity in the writing. This is not one I'd suggest.

There is a real trick to writing YA books. You can't deal with "adult issues," but at the same time you've got to have the writing skill to make the story realistic. This writer was trying to bring about tragedy by making mountains out of molehills. Yawn!

Probably interesting to a 13 year old, but not to a 40 year old.
