Coming of age novel discussing  friendship and love.
Topical characters: Pretty (they remind you on every page) but dorky girl and hot blond dude.
Certainly entertaining, but can sometimes be abrupt, particularly the ending, which is sad with the only purpose of being sad. 

Unlike Romeo and Juliet, there's no reason to the death nor a lesson to learn from it, it just happens.

Didn't agree with some of the author's views.
