Very typical YA book. I personally didn't like that a large portion of the characters were gay. It feels unrealistic that all these intertwined teenagers were gay in some way. 
I'm not sure if that's an accurate interpretation, or if it was just what the author was aiming for, but it just felt unrealistic to me, pulled me out of the story.

This was good. I liked it. But there were some parts it was just a little too obvious for me.

It was very insightful. 
I think a lot of people are fimilar with her story, but this gives a whole new take.
It's amazing to hear all she went through and still came out the other side as herself. 
Well written too.
