It was interesting. This is one of the realistic fiction books I can actually stand. I had a good time reading it, especially because it was for a margin project at my local library. Meaning I was supposed to write in the book as I went along. I ended up drawing little snakes everywhere! That did not take away from the writing or the characters. I found that I was able to connect to quite a few of the characters in here and shared similar experiences. Jeff Zentner really did a great job on this book. I have read his other book, Goodbye Days, which I didn’t really like. This was a huge step up and was cool how he connected them. At the end of this book they talk about one person (I’m trying not to spoil it because I really want to share the connection with you) becoming a musician. His name is Dearly. In Goodbye Days the main character and his friends talk about going to a Dearly concert. Cool, right!?
