review 1: I wanted to give this 3.5 stars, but bumped it up a bit because it was good and we all know GoodReads has something against half stars! I liked the story and the characters, although they all had their moments of insanity and annoyingness. Sanchez's writing and plot has echoes of John Green's Paper Towns and a tiny bit of Chris Crutcher's penchant for darkness, so it will appeal to fans of those authors, but it still stands on its own and manages to be something unique. A good read, but a sad one at points.
review 2: 2 stars don't mean that I hate it, just that it was okay. I liked the story and the past/present stuff that took place changing Frenchie's life. I especially liked the way it approached the whole depression/suicide thing, and Frenchie is a likable... more character, despite her snarky attitude. Anyway, it was an okay read. The death thing didn't feel too heavy, I don't know, it just didn't leave that much of an impression, I guess that's probably cause it was a short book. less
