I have wanted to read this since I finished The Earth, My Butt, And Other Big Round Things. Mackler's style is really appealing, and I read this in less than two hours. I like Mara and the transition and growth she experiences in the text is awesome. I don't know if "regular" kids could appreciate it as much as those students who are over-achievers in the way that Mara is, but the family dynamics, high school drama, love story are all really good selling points.
I am glad I read it.
