The story's concept was interesting, and I enjoyed reading about the "lies" that each of the seven characters kept hidden. The switching narrators is something that I love, and the author did a great job in bringing each of the seven narrators to life in a different way. There were some that I didn't particularly care for (Kat), but her story was interesting nonetheless. 
 As a high school teacher, I felt that the characterization was spot on for the age group, right down to the dialogue. I also felt that the different types of students that populate a high school were well represented. 
 The ending was a bit of a let-down, in its after school special kind of way. I was also a bit disturbed by the teacher-student affair angle (as a high school teacher-- also, why is it ALWAYS the English teacher? WHY?), and I felt like I would have enjoyed the story without it anyway, though I understand it was a driving force in bringing several of the characters together.
