This is really an amazing book. The characters will reach in a take hold of you and even when you don't like them, you'll root for them in a way. Kelly creates the perfect antagonists and protagonists until you're not exactly sure who is who and when you are, he switches it up.I think most high schoolers will find themselves in this book. Fearful, arrogant, scarred (yes with the double r), hopeful, angry...there's a piece of us at 17 in each of these characters. It's a book of rebellion and revelation about how we see each other, ourselves, the world. We all wanted to be as smart as Jacob when we were 17. We all probably wanted to be David as well.
