it was ok

** spoiler alert ** The the star rating, it was "OKAY". But also very stereotypical and mundane.

It droned on and on and was completely depressing. Never was there a shed of happiness in this story.

But the one thing that really irked me was the ending.

She nearly got raped again by the same boy, and because of that she was loved by everyone again..

Isn't that giving the wrong message? That you should accept everyone who hated your guts? That because you were nearly raped, you should bask in the light of popularity and everyone should love you?

It was almost believable until the ending. It truly ruined the book.
