I read this in a matter of 2 hours. It was that good.I feel like this is one of those books that everyone should read.The way that Laurie was able to get into a 17 year old boy's head was amazing.I loved the relationship that he had with his sister, and the turmoil life at home was nailed on the head. There was so much in this book that I truly respected; the raw honesty behind the words. I really liked this book. The ending was just what it should be.
