This is one of the most disturbing portrayals of high school life I've encountered. It's also very true-to-life. I read this one in a couple of hours and stayed up way to late to finish it, because I just wanted someone in the story to make a decent decision and not be a jerk. Basically, it's impossible to review this book without massive spoilers, but it's definitely on my recommended YA reading for both the young folks and adults. (Though the realistic nature of the book will surely offend some adults.)
