Maybe it's me, but I just couldn't do this one either. I was struggling around page 40 and even tried the page 69 test to no avail. 
 An interesting premise bogged down by very colloquial and juvenile writing. While I'm usually a fan of jumping right in the middle and having to figure things out (like slang), this just rubbed me the wrong way. 
 I also feel like I know where this is going anyway. 
 Not to say I won't try it again some time, but it's just not doing it for me right now. (I saw a reviewer mention an audiobook, which might help.)
