3.0

This was a quick read, with it being both in verse and only about 200 pages. It was pretty good for what it was -- while it didn't blow me away, the story was good, and I liked how it ended on a high note. I especially appreciated the focus on a teenage boy with an eating disorder and body dysmorphia; I haven't seen many books tackle something like that.
