Tease is a book you're supposed to have problems with. You're supposed to be torn over the characters and the situations. This book is supposed to make you feel a lot of things. And it did that for me. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it made me feel and think, and that is what it's supposed to do. 
 Going into Tease, I have to admit that I was kind of afraid I was going to like Sara, or at the very least, sympathize with her. Her and her friends did terrible, disgusting things to Emma, and there's really no excuse at all for their actions. Being first person narrative, you get the most insight to Sara's head and feelings, before the suicide and after it. Unlikable characters are not a huge problem for me, especially as I knew in this book they would be very prominent. However, I know this will be a problem for many others and I can understand why. For most of the book Sara doesn't really seem to grasp the severity of her and her friends' actions and constantly tries to defend why she did what she did. But I appreciated her progression over the course of the story, and that she did seem to come to terms with it. 
 My biggest gripe I had with the book was Sara's best friend, Brielle. It wasn't so much herself (although she's clearly got her own issues), but more how she spoke. I feel like the phrases slut and skank were wayyyy overused. Obviously they're in high school but it made them seem much more juvenile than they were. My main reason for why I liked the present day chapters more. 
 Overall, I think Tease is a good, smart book with important insight on topics that unfortunately, are very relevant today. It definitely won't be for everyone but I think it's worth a shot.
