This was supposed to just be a quick palette cleanser. I seldom read synopsis, so I had no way of knowing I was completely incorrect. Though only a 14 year old boy, Aiden and I had a lot in common. Point of correction, Aidan and me, at 14, had a lot in common. We were equally uncertain, self-conscious,  and a tad pretentious with a flare for melodrama. I love the themes of self-acceptance of friendship because I know both go hand in hand with a successful adolescence. I found myself giggling at silly comebacks, and I'm almost certain his school is the same school Daria went to. Anyway, the book is great, the message is fantastic, and the humor is top tier.
