Excellent book for pre/adolescent boys with the reality of growing up and choices that one encounters. A little dated it's no longer paperbacks but Internet site now.
One huge quibble - my copy had a very girlie cover in blue with a pink milkshake - really?

The lest sentence hit me like a brick. The story ended abruptly for sure but it was still good. I do wonder what happened about his stomach pains but I do believe they were stressed related. I am also glad he got out of his bad habits. But I think we are all wondering who gets changed with the windows opened. She was kinda asking for it. The reason I gave this book 3 stars it because i’m glad I read it. It was a good book. It’s also a book I would recommend to a friend. Something about was good but not amazing. It was interesting but it also felt like it just got dragged on too.

I felt kind of strange and weirdly voyeuristic reading this again when I'm no longer the target audience. But it was good. Unsurprisingly, I'd forgotten how much Blume tackles along with the typical puberty thing. I've never been in the mind of a teenage boy, but I imagine this is what it would be like.
