Helpful Score: 3

This was not an easy book for me to read. Stella is two weeks away from graduating at the top of her high school class. She however has other plans, committing suicide.
Although parts of this book were very funny, and Stellas wry observations of high school life were on target, for the most part the book did nothing for me. While at times I felt some sympathy for Stella and her difficult life, in general I didnt like her much and though she was whining just a little too much for me. Many of the characters in this book were not well fleshed out, and I found the character of Ainsley, Stellas erstwhile friend, to be the most intriguing character in the book.
The author of this book is only 23 years old, and I think this is an author to keep an eye on. With some more maturity in her character development I think she will become a very gifted writer.
