Maybe it's because I'm not a teenager and not a boy, but I found this book quite boring. It was thankfully a quick read, but I didn't like the characters, and it didn't feel like anything actually *happened* for most of the book. There were a few big events that everything else centers around, but otherwise it's just the narrator thinking about his feelings. Which can sometimes work, but this book didn't do it for me.
