I reviewed it for Teenreads.com, and you can read my review here, but I know it also got negative reviews from at least two library professional journals...Booklist and SLJ, I think maybe.
A much, much better read is Who Am I Without Him by the always-brilliant Sharon Flake. I wasn't wild about the final story in the book, but the rest was wonderful. Sharon Flake can do no wrong.

BOOOOO!!!
That sucks. I bought it. Maybe I will give it to my cousin.
Cool, I did not know that Sharon had another book out.
I have a coworker with a 10 year old son who she wants to read more. I copied and pasted all of the recommended titles here but am drawing blanks on other titles I have recommended in the past. Can you suggest some more? Thanks.
