A solid YA book, especially since it manages to impart the messages it wants to without feeling preachy or obvious. Good characters and I liked the writing style. Ending manages to be hopeful without being condescending. Overall good lessons and info to be taken from this except please, for the love of god, just because you've been talking to someone for a bit and he says he's gay and you're a girl does NOT mean you should get into a car with an older stranger to be driven to an unknown location when no one knows where you are or who you were meeting oh my GOD!
