Three and a half stars. This book was alright, and there were some really entertaining sections within the story, but it's not exactly a favourite and I'm not sure I would be able to bring myself to read it again.

DNF - might go back to it later.

Read it. Now. Right now. There are books that everyone has to read at least once, and this is one of them.

I love this book SO MUCH. It's written in a rather straight forward way, but I think that's one of the reasons I liked it so much. I'm not normally into the more popular YA fiction and romancy (is that a word?) type books, however Maddy's personality was great, and I had loads of laugh out loud moments (I'm looking at you, bundt cake). It's a book that I can read more than once without getting bored, with a slightly different format than usual (emails, notes, etc.).

I have a feeling that one of the reasons I liked this book so much is because I found out about it on my own and didn't have a whole load of people saying how good it is and that I had to read it, so I won't say you have to read it, but... you have to read it.

A new favourite; book is an absolute gem. The story is told completely in poems, which adds a certain uniqueness and voice to it I don't see in many books. I had to stop myself from crying at multiple times throughout, which doesn't happen very often; it tells a truth about our culture at the moment, and I believe we all need to see that and actually do something about it.
