 Conveys a really important message; everyone wants to have a friend, and if everyone would reach out to make a friend, we will all be good. But I would like Streaks of Blue to delve deeper into the psyche of the students; I need it to give me more insight to why this is supposedly heading in a direction like that. I partly liked it for its optimistic and naive tone, but again. When dealing with such... serious topics, I don't think that would be the fitting tone. But the mention of "that punk" in Norway, referring to 2011 Norway attacks, it makes me loose my faith in teenagers. Being a Norwegian myself, I'm very familiar with the acts done by that punk in Norway, but the passing mention was crude, too crude in my opinion. Streaks of Blue is showing how crazy and stupid, and nonetheless uninformed teenagers are. Stupid and crazy to resort to planning things like that, and uninformed, when they are so unemotionally against acts like massacres. I would have been tempted to give Streaks of Blue a lower rating, but the message of the novel is it's saving grace. The characters needs a deeper insights to what drives the teenagers so far.
