I absolutely loved this book. I thought it was insightful and written really well. Considering it is labeled "juvenile fiction," I thought the storyline was perfect. This is one of those books that you read and think, "This needs to be on every single middle/high school's required reading list." I flew through it in just one night because the writing style was so easy to read. I would highly recommend this book to everyone!

Favorite passages/lines:
"Can I help you?" Leo asks.
I realize I'm staring.
"Er- yes - sorry," I stammer, dragging my eyes away from his. "Its just that my friends over there and I..."
I point to Essie and Felix. Helpfully, Essie has plastered her top lip to her gums and Felix has flipped his eyelids inside out.
"Er, well, we were wondering if you'd like to eat lunch with us?"
I hold my breath. Leo is looking at me like I've got two heads.

"Because everything is canceled out by my heart going wild in my chest, like it's going to burst out of me and dance right across the street."

"The bottom line is, I survived the week. And if I can survive one week, I can survive the next one, and the one after that."
