Are We There Yet? is a thoughtful, if a little slow, book about growing up. Levithan nails certain feelings that I know I felt at 16, 20, and 23, however I don't know if this book would be eaten up by actual teens (at least those who I know). 
 I will say that while the beginning was a bit ho-hum (think Rick Steves writes a YA novel), the growth that both Danny and Elijah experience made me reflect upon my own relationships during my young adulthood (thus the three stars).
