Review: A little too much

Maybe because I'm no longer a teen, and maybe because I was never truly bullied in school, but I had a hard time really getting into this book.  I felt like the character of Rebecca was, at times, quite unlikable. She was having this whole new experience around the world and yet it was mostly "Is she going to be my friend? What about her? What if they don't get along? What if they do and they leave me out?  OH, BOYS! BOYS!"  I would have been more interested in Mia's story, or Jordyn's, or even Avi's.  The end was unsatisfying because I wanted to know what happened when she returned home. I realize a short story about her return home has been written, but I feel like it would have just been better put at the end of this book.
