As a high school teacher, I live in this world from August to June every year.  I see what kids go through, and sometimes it feels as though you are beating your head against the wall when you tell kids this part of their lives only lasts for a minute... or it won't be like this for long.  When you're going through it, it feels like an eternity... and that is what this author has managed to capture.  The eternity of Freshman year of high school.  Its ups and downs, its challenges and frustrations and its joys and discovery of oneself.The characters are very well created, and very authentic and real.  You will fall in love with some, and you will absolutely not like some others, just like when you were in high school.  The difference here is you are the proverbial fly on the wall, the author allows you to experience this roller coaster ride as an observer, though at times, it certainly feels like you are right there with the characters!The author has done a fantastic job with the story lines in this book, just when you think you have it figured out, the plot shifts, and you are left wondering where it is going next... and there are simply things you didn't see coming in the book, and I love that!The author has done a stellar job of making high school scenarios fresh and new, and the book is so entertaining it will keep you turning page after page completely immersed in the story.  It is a definite must read, and I, for one, can not wait to read more from this author.I highly recommend.
