3.0

This was the second time I've read this book. The first time I read it, I gave it 5 stars. Since then, I have read a lot more books and reevaluated how I rate books. So now, I'm only giving this book 3 stars.

While this book isn't bad per se, it's not nearly as good as I remember it being.

The concept of this book is really interesting, but I don't feel like it was executed very well.

I did like that there were a decent amount of funny parts, and this book was really easy and quick to read.

However, a lot of the writing and dialogue seemed fake and cliché. The descriptions and references didn't really age well even though this book isn't really that old.

The boys were really awful to Megan throughout the story, and the McGowan parents did literally nothing to stop how they were treating her.

I couldn't understand why Megan had any interest in Evan after the way he continued to treat her and the kind of people he hung out with.

Miller was a good character, but his Asperger's was treated like a science experiment and referred to as a sickness that Megan suddenly knew how to handle while the rest of his family didn't.

Doug was a disgusting character that I couldn't stand.

The ending was abrupt and dumb. Did Megan learn nothing?

Overall, I wouldn't recommend reading this book.
