It was interesting to read of childhood crushes from a boy's view. Hilarious and heartwarming, I found it entertaining and would have given it 5 stars excerpt for the ending. I realize the author is making this a series. However I felt the ending was abrupt. I was left feeling off balance rather than left with a desire to get to the next book. I decided on 4 stars because I truly enjoyed a majority of the book and plan to give it another shot with the next book in the series. I normally do not add in any judgments on the cover of a book, (and it played no part in my scoring), however this cover I find a bit deceptive. I mention it as I think if you look at the cover you may judge it to be about older teens. It is about sixth graders so older teens need to be aware of that. They may be expecting something with more angst than this story delivers. This book is more the anxiety and the bittersweet angst of first crushes. Since it is a series it may grow into the more intense teen years as time moves on.
