When I first started to read I didn’t think that I was going to like it, but as I read more into the book I really did start to like it. One of the things that I liked about it was the characters in the book were around our age and maybe some of us could even relate to one of them some way or another. Another thing that I liked about the book was that it always kept you reading. When ever the a chapter ended it would end with some kind of message that you wanted to find out what it means or what will happen between the two characters. I didn’t really dislike anything in the novel I thought that everything was good. The scene that stood out to me most was when the Billings Girls was going to make Reed spike Mr. Barbers coffee but she stood up for herself and said no. I would recommend this book to someone else because I really did enjoy the book. I would only recommend this book to kids around my age because of the material in the book.
