The book jar choice wasn't that bad after all, I think it could have been worse xD 
 Warning: This review might contain spoilers without the tag... 
 The thing is I don't know how I feel about this book. I'm not sure if I like it or not. Mostly I think I don't give a damn about plot, characters or what happened to them, but there were things I liked. 
 I did like the main character most of the time, but at the same time something about him bugged me the whole time. Probably it was that he sounded like a thirty something trapped in a teenage boy, and rarely acted his age. 
 I did like Syd and Tom, they were by far my favourites, a good friend and a cool big brother, but they were just a sketch of themselves, sadly. 
 I did also like Kirby, she was sometimes cool... but I couldn't get her jealousy outbursts. She seemed so understanding telling Colt she couldn't imagine how hard it has to be for him not to have anyone to talk about Julia after her death, but she couldn't stand that she was still a important part of him. It was very naive of her (and of him too) to think that he was over Julia already, without help, just because of the will of being over it... I didn't like her reaction at the end and the whole (view spoiler)["we have to cool things off for a while until you get over her". Incredible how she failed to see how good she was being for Colt. Poor Colt needs to get over two women by the end of the book, great, isn't it? Although I'm sure he was mostly over Julia in the end. (hide spoiler)] 
 By the end of the book I think the main point was to see Colt get out of the misery he entered when Julia died, but if I'm pretty sure he was over her, I'm not that sure that we were able to read that in the book. It was said, but not really showed... And no, the notebook didn't help much. That only showed how selfish and hesitant Julia was. It probably would have helped to understand Colt's evolution, or rather non-evolution, to have known from the beginning what happened the last night they were together and why he felt so guilty. 
 And now even if I run the risk of sounding like a prude: is it any normal the amount of sex these teenagers have/had? O.o
