Opinion:
This book was a page turning read that I couldn't put down for a minute. I was caught up in the vivid descriptions of feelings. I applaud Lauren Myracle for giving such depth and intensity to each and every character. Even though this was staged at the end of the 1960s, I could relate to the everyday pressure of high school life. I would suggest this book to anyone who finds themselves in need of a thoughtful and penetrating read.
