This book was enjoyable. I will even go as far as saying that I loved it. It was fun, and gave me a strong feeling of nostalgia for my teen years. That being said, it was a fluff piece and following Thirteen Reason's Why, a fluff piece falls short... 
 On top of that, I was disappointed in the ending. To become so incredibly invested in these characters and to never actually get to find out how it's all going to turn out felt unfulfilling. If this were a movie (which I heard will be the case in the near future) I picture the director using epilogue captions to let us know how it actually ends up. (which would be appropriate since almost all of the teen flicks of the 90s ended in that way.) 
 The story was great and fun. But, it lacked the grittiness needed to really feel "real" and came across as one gigantic cliche, That certainly doesn't change how I enjoyed it, but it makes me understand how others might not have.
