I read this wondering about it being one I could recommend to my Middle School students, while thinking it would be too YA for me to enjoy.  At first it was a little bit, but soon I had to keep reading to see what happened.  I love the ending.  I strongly recommend this to all teenagers.  It teaches a great lesson by allowing us to watch two teens learn about growing up.  The only thing I didn't like was that the young man was sexually active in high school.  It was in his past - because he is in a coma when the story takes place.  Other than that, it ends well.  Everyone learns and points their life in a good direction.  I enjoyed reading the day to day activities of the characters, and it didn't drone on and on.  I'm keeping this one.
