Even though there might have been a bigger reason to justify this, I still found it quite distracting and cheesy sometimes. Nevertheless, there were a few points that appeared a tad on the unrealistic side, too much of a classic "hollywood-teenage-movie" sort of thing. In this case however, the author managed to do a remarkably good job in doing that. I always found it a difficult task when authors decide to write a book about/for teenagers when they're already adults because it's rare that they get their voices depicted appropriately and realistically. Lockwood's writing is effortless and was easy to follow. This was not an easy book to go through, in terms of the themes that it touches but it was an undeniably engrossing one.
