there's something refreshing about this book. The characters are acting the way teenagers supposed to be, not mature or wise beyond their age that usually happened in another YA books i read. Of course in some way their way of thinking, act, talk make the story became less serene, so different compare to another YA books like The Sky Is Everywhere, If I Stay, Twenty Boy Summer or my personal favorite Before I Fall but doesn't mean not as good as. 
 The issue is also common, not overbearing, something that teens still be able to cope with without leaving a permanent scar. 
 it's a good read.
