This was a hard nut to crack - very little happens and we are pretty much a fly on the wall of a quiet and reserved teen girl who is navigating friendships, booze, sex, and boys. That sentence makes the book seem more interesting than it was - most was just pensive looks, with some occasional interactions in between. I can't say there was much of a story here; certainly, there was no structure. I guess if you would find it fascinating to watch the mundane week of the life of a teen girl and not really know what she's thinking, then this book would be equally interesting. For everyone else, it was challenging to get into it.
