review 1: Im giving this book 5 stars because it just really touched my heart.Like I hope that there's more Ezra Faulkner out there.This book was really smart.I like the debate thing.The realization of Ms.Robin is so beautiful.It's so amazing and also fun to read.This book is so worth it.I learned many things like when you love someone,you should not regret anything.If you get hurt atleast you learned something :) The Oscar Wilde quote in the end omg hands down :D I love it :) STOP EXISTING,LEARN TO LIVE GUYS :)
review 2: You know what? Screw it. I loved this book. I am convinced that Robyn Schneider and I are long-lost somethings, because this book spoke to me so much I don't even know how to describe it. The nerd crowd was SO SPOT ON IT HURT. And even on the parts that... more were a bit weird, I'm still wondering if it was meant to be ironic. But yes, I loved it. I loved Cassidy, and I think I will still stand by that. I don't like to think myself into contemporaries (other than John Green, of course), but I just can't get over how much I loved this story. It ended not how I expected, but I loved it way more. Way, way more. And Toby is my dream man (yes, we are ignoring that he is gay). And the witty, sarcastic, attitudes matched with a dead-end small town just kills me. Oh, the accuracy! And she even watched to link a GIF at the end of her acknowledgments. Bless you, Robyn Schneider. Things I found a bit odd or whatnot (again, most, if not all, of this could have been ironic):•All the characters using the same type of language (insults, 'personal tragedies', etc.). But this seems to be consistent of most contemporaries tho. •Cooper (my bby) was actual dog Jay Gatsby?•The popular crowd seemed a bit too oblivious. I kind of integrated from a crowd like that to a crowd like Toby's, and I don't remember them being so, I don't know, ignorant? Trust me, it was there, and still is, but it seemed like a bit much.No more because there was too much relatable and true things, I can't even name than all. less

Have you ever just stared at the ceiling for a straight 10 minutes after reading a book, contemplating its ending? Well, this book does that to you because it is beautiful.At first you'd probably look at it as another Young-Adult High School cliché love story about a boy who meets a girl and he falls deeply in love. But it's more than that, it's not just about love, it's about life itself and the things that change how you see it. A friend read this book before I did and she was disappointed at how ordinary it was, but two days later she told me that she was wrong. What's so good about it is how Robyn Schneider used to the whole book for character development and connects all loose ends at the end. She definitely made a funny and heartbreaking story all in one book. Amazing! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is lost and young in this wonderful and terrifying world we live in. And! I love how there are a lot of references to Gatsby and Harry Potter. Robyn Schneider is a great story-teller!

I did enjoy this book but not in a pure, I can't put this down, kind of way. There were a lot of things that didn't make sense for me. I don't know who the audience of this book is, or who would see themselves in it's pages. Not a popular jock, who would be like who cares about this former popular jock, or a nerd- who wouldn't care to read the words of a once popular jock. The portrayal of girls as kind of messed up and shallow wouldn't exactly make me recommend it to them either. The apex of the plot especially, where a tragedy I thought might bring the characters closer together pushes them apart. Maybe it's realistic by being kind of fizzly at the end of the story, but the fizzle is not very poignant or interesting. I don't feel like this book actually taught me anything, and even the big ideas are inconsistent. What does the panopticon honestly have to do with anything at all in this book? It is not tied together well.
