The premise of the book stems from a school shooting in which ten students are killed and nineteen students are gravely injured. But more importantly, Jodi talks about things that seem to be silly and adolescent (it being something primarily taking place within the minds and lives of high schoolers), or something that we will one day "grow out of." Not only is bullying addressed in bulk, but there is also a good amount of dialogue and plot that calls into question things like conformity, fitting in, and judgment, all things frequently written about and commented on, but rarely ever changed for good. I'm not quite sure why I wrote a description of this book, as I typically don't do that in my reviews. But there was something about this book that, at first, kind of repulsed me, but eventually drew me in. From the onset, I noticed things like how Jodi seems to rely on romantic relationships to "complete" a person a bit too much in her novels, and they're also the more predictable relationships (though I suppose life is like that often enough). I was also a bit annoyed at many of the characters, being high schoolers, thinking that their lives were the worst things in the world when really they were spoiled brats that didn't see how lucky they were to have all that they did (though the protagonist's life really is something tragic, and it makes me wonder how many people live the whole of their lives like that...) In the end though, I realized that, though these things may be petty compared to the oppression and exploitation that exists in so many other areas in other countries, the root of it all is still the same: insecurity and selfishness. So in that, Jodi was able to draw me back in by bringing many of the characters to life so that, though many of them were still just as emotionally inept and annoying as they were in the beginning, they still became understandable.
