I absolutely loved it. I found the narrator to be darkly comedic, and I thought the author either had teenagers of her own or spent a great deal of time with teens, as the diction was spot on. Posted by scdaniel on May 6, 2009. |

I found the novel to have a refreshingly clear view of what it must feel like to be a teenager (its a long time ago for me, though). The angst over isolation, recognition and rejection: the stomach-wrenching fear of being different. The paragraph
I know resonates with some of my students, as does the humour of 'THE FIRST TEN LIES THEY TELL YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL'.
