2.5 Stars
This book is a loose retelling of three dead poets lives if they were teens in modern day society. Shelly has died and her final wish was for Keats and Gordon to spread her ashes on a beach while playing her REM CD from her old boom box. While travelling to the beach, Keats and Gordon get to know each other and reminisce on the times spent with Shelly.
I found all the characters to be lack lustre and a bit boring to me. Gordon was extremely self-centred and Shelly's obsession with him was a bit pathetic. The book started off great and I thought I was really going to enjoy it. Unfortunately no real plot developed and what did come of the story was very slow.
