I have a theory after last night's discussion. Those who were in love in high school and can empathize didn't seem to mind the boring teen romance as much. Those of us who didn't can't stomach the sappiness. Or, we're probably just bitter about being lonely in high school. I think everyone agreed the art was skillful, and that some of the brother or religion threads were good. He did an illustrated journal of a trip he took to Marrakesh, and I liked that holistically better, since it wasn't so earnest. Audrey, thanks for looking me up!

You really hit the nail on the head with bringing up the book's complete lack of humor. I can't relate to this melodramatic view of adolescence. And I usually can't really get engaged into such a flat story unless there is a wit or playfulness to it. Ms. Detective-
